Wow! Political spectrum classification is not what it once was. It used to be left center and right with various shades, communism on one extreme, fascism/Naziism on the other. Now several people have come up with double and even triple axis classifications or more! Now i've never been comfortable with the old left/right thing because I didn't think it fit with the facts. But reading about this has really been fascinating. So fascinating that I'm posting some links. For some reason libertarians are doing the most here. Hmmm. Maybe they're uncomfortable with the left/right classification because of where they are perceived to fit?
