: Response from [[User:Bruce M.Tindall|Bruce M.Tindall]] 18:06, 21 November 2007 (CST): Ah, but it might be difficult to do so in an objective way. One person's "high degree of economic freedom" is another person's "low degree of social justice"; "high social freedom" might be described as "low social order" or "low public safety" by someone else. The choice and naming of the axes for such a scheme right away implies a system and hierarchy of values. There's also the question of which axes are left out: is there a dimension for measuring, say, the relative powers or duties belonging to different groupings of people (individuals, families, "races," nation-states and their political subdivisions, genders, voluntary organizations, etc.)? After all, in the U.S., the 50 states have considerable sovereignty in certain areas; in other countries, power is more centralized; so there's yet another dimension of the political spectrum (probably not describable as any kind of "freedom") right there. | : Response from [[User:Bruce M.Tindall|Bruce M.Tindall]] 18:06, 21 November 2007 (CST): Ah, but it might be difficult to do so in an objective way.

- Besides giving examples of other spectrums out there, I propose that we order political beliefs into a three-axis table based on the following properties: economic freedom, political freedom, and social freedom. I'd also like to see tables where variants of the same belief are compared to each other.

One person's "high degree of economic freedom" is another person's "low degree of social justice"; "high social freedom" might be described as "low social order" or "low public safety" by someone else.
