I think that the nation states.net 3-axis model is sufficient for plotting and exploring political ideas for now [0]. It’s still better than the one-dimensional left-right spectrum or the two-dimensional Nolan chart [1]. However, given the rate at which language changes, it seems completely feasible that people might on day need a more granular political coordinate system.

- tareqak 8y agoHow so? I don’t see how it compares political freedoms, personal freedoms, or economic freedoms. Maybe there is a specific one for politics you know of?
- inflatableDodo 8y agoI'd say it is complementary to the nation states three axis model. It doesn't define someone's politics, it defines how they go about their politics and what they proritise about their value system, which is generally just as important to consider.
