My spectrum is like a piece of lint. I am somewhere near the area that the tiny piece of floorboard meets the lint, while everyone else is probably much closer together like the sheep they are. The 'distance' only exists because no one likes crowding. :]

Isn't it just really confusing two different spectrum? One was created by the French during their convention and the other by the American progressives. Two different places in history, two different concepts behind the spectrum. They're is no need to debate them as opposites.

Then, the parliaments of Europe have adopted the system of leftists sitting in the left (Socialists, Radicals, some Liberals, Communists appeared later on in the Far Left of the seating arrangement) and rightists sitting to the right (some Liberals, conservatives, reactionaries) As for the Fascists.....How can a batch of people who want to end class conflict , restore the traditions of society, are anti-egalitarian, and have conspiracy theories about Capitalist Communists are left-wingers?
-
Guess who supported the French Revolutionaries? Some of the founding fathers of course. The left and right spectrum was strengthened further with the 2nd French Revolution's parliament seating. The Democratic Republicans (The first Socialists), the Radical Republicans (Radicals), and the more moderate of the Republicans sitting to the Left, and the Bonapartists, Orleanists, and Legitimists sitting to the right.

Really, just fucking really. First of all, you revise the political meanings of left and right to fit your ideology. The words 'Left' and 'Right' in the political sense came from the French Revolution where the National Assembly had the Revolutionaries (With the values of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Radicals and Liberals) sitting in the left and the supporters of the Monarchy (With the values of Tradition, Order, and Authority.) sitting to the right.

Inaccurate. That explanation is even MORE oversimplified than the spectrum he says is wrong.
-
ruled by law? I have never seen a law arrest anyone. There are people who claim to arrest others in name of the law, but that is what all rulers do. They do stuff in the name of the majority, in the name of god, in the name of tradition. But I have yet to see majority, tradition or god make any arrests.
-
Notice how they conveniently leave out Socialism in the definitions.
-
Hilter was a lefty socialist,Communist are leftist,Hitler was not of the Right
-
The problem with this spectrum is that it doesn't point out that a democracy can be more authoritarian than a monarchy at times. What if the monarch in power is a minarchist? or a democracy where the majority are white nationalists?
Bit of a conundrum there :P

I don't believe this spectrum is accurate. I believe in the 2D spectrum... Libertarians on top, Authoritarians on bottom, Social Conservatives on the right, and Economic Liberals on the left.

@josda1000
So you like breaking up Freedom into social freedoms and economic freedoms?
In the end, this 2d spectrum is the Nolan Chart's 3d spectrum condensed....they are really the same thing, the Nolan Chart just goes in more depth.

So advocating any government pushes policy toward all the bad stuff? Is government a "necessary evil" unless we embrace anarchy? I'm not convinced. I think government is as natural as the right to self defense, that people have rights and that government should protect our rights. The anarchist position defaults to the first gang who doesn't play by the rules. As libertarians, we need to stop apologizing for what government should be doing, which is protecting us.

So you've never researched DROs.....
I would suggest you google anarcho-capitalism and voluntarism.
The Constitution is the reason we got to where we are today.....because government always grows into a monster, that cannot be controlled. The smallest government will always end up the largest.
