	Humans are not 1-dimensional creatures. The U.S. electoral landscape is more polarized than ever, with divisions between those that identify as liberals and those that identify as conservative. One of the reasons behind political polarization may be because of an understanding of synonymity between left-wing and liberal, and right-wing and conservative. This popular single axis understanding of politics can cause people to feel as though they have to choose a side, and then must follow the norms of that side. When politics are characterized and represented on a right/left geometrical axis, it is no wonder that the nation is more divided than ever.		Humans are not 1-dimensional creatures.

	Recently in an article he penned for The Epoch Times newspaper, Conservative Canadian politician emeritus Preston Manning openly disagreed with the well-known "Left vs Right" paradigm and tried to substitute "anti-establishment" 'democrats' vs "pro-Establishment" 'aristocrats' - or what amounts to liberators vs conservers - without bothering to notice the potential differences between what each faction is actually trying to conserve and/or overthrow.

	In reality, "The Left" always tries to overthrow all rules and laws for them selves alone, while inflicting an almost infinite amount of rules for the non-liberal conservatives to follow, to conserve their false right to inflict chaos; while "The Right" always tries to overthrow the liberals' chaos, to conserve laws and make rules for everyone to follow equally, but with only limited success since they've never been able to properly define and then articulate what the laws should be used for.

	~~So, the true paradigm has always been criminal hypocrites versus honest law-abiders.~~

	A single-axis model conflates liberal and conservative ideologies with right-wing and left-wing stances, excluding the nuances that can exist in someone’s political ideals. Single-axis models like the right/left-wing divide have been criticized for being too simple and reductionist, and it has been suggested that the right/left divide only captures economic issues but that it need not be reflective of one’s social political identity.

	The '''Left-Right Political Scale''' is a traditional way of measuring political beliefs, unfortunately it is very limited and simplistic. When asked about your political views, you may answer by saying that you are left-wing or right-wing. Often, these terms seem synonymous with being either [[liberal]] or being [[conservative]]; but should the concepts really be equated? And where does Fascism fit in?
