Probably somewhere between progressivism and activism.

Some of the terms in here I'm not even aware of, I think I'd fall some between progressivism and socialism.

Why is anarchism the economic restraint side? anarcho-syndicalist/communist i guess?

And I don't even know what some of these would be defined as: Paleoconservatism, Minarchism, Hegemonism?


I would probably be socialist though

Confusing grid, I've seen far better. On this grid I would be a bit to the left of Libertarian Socialism, in the anarchism section. If I'm reading it right ... (I'm fully throwing out the other guiding parts).

Yeah, some of these terms are ... weird, or at least an odd use. Saying just Anarchism is extremely misleading as individualist and societal are nothing alike, and it gets further subdivided from there. And for that matter, I thought pure capitalism and anarcho-capitalism were pretty much the same thing?

The grid agrees with you. Liberalism and Capitalism are both located the same Economically on this spectrum (up and down).

aren't communism and fascism both totalitarianistic?

The end goal of fascism is totalitarianism, Communism's end goal is pretty much the opposite. Most Communism that's been practiced at the governmental level is "right communism" anyways.

Yes, I was taught that the extreme of both of those is totalitarianism.
