Political axes

Political axes are tools used to map and understand different political beliefs and ideologies. They typically feature two or more dimensions, such as economic views (left for more government intervention, right for less) and social views (authoritarian to libertarian, favoring order versus individual freedom). This creates a grid or spectrum showing where individuals or parties stand. By using axes, we can better compare political positions beyond simple labels, recognizing the complexity of beliefs and how they relate across different issues. This helps foster clearer discussions and understanding of political diversity.
