quote:I don't find the whole liberal/conservative classification system all that enlightening. How would you classify, for instance, China? Communism seems like a pretty "liberal" economic policy, but certainly the government severely curtails individual liberties. This may be more what rollainm was getting at.
Wouldn't that make them liberal-authoritarian? I think the two-axis system strikes the best balance between simplicity and accuracy -- liberal/conservative on one axis and authoritarian/libertarian on the other.
