Interesting. I don't see the right axis as involving any fear. I see it as recognizing the inviolability of individual liberty above all else. And in doing so, having a great deal of trust and confidence in society to do the right thing - as long as liberty is truly and completely protected. Conversely, I see the left axis as being driven by the fear that society cannot do the right thing on its own and therefore morality must be codified in to law that requires violent force to coerce society in to obeying.
