In Left-Right politics, where do libertarians fit?

[Uncle Joe]

13. Politics isn't just left - right it has an up (authoritarian) - down (libertarian) dimension

as well, so libertarians or anti-authoritarianism can be all along the scale.



I have also seen libertarians listed at the top of some graphs with authoritarians listed at the bottom of others, but the point being politics has at least 4 dimensions, and maybe 5 as in the graph below.




I believe the corporate media would prefer for the American People to think of politics as having just 2 dimensions primarily because corporations in general are authoritarian by nature thus it's easier for the corporate media to demonize liberalism or (one opposing dimension) and keep corporate friendly authoritarians in power versus covering/facing a more accurate and multi-dimensional political world.

In short it becomes easier for the corporate media to use their propaganda to manipulate a dumbed down populace; that only thinks of the political world as being left/right.

Thanks for the thread, Jamaal.
