An experimental (philosophical) political compass.

An experimental (philosophical) political compass inspired by http://www.facingmyownreflection.com/concepts-and-estimates-of-the-new-political-spectrum/

The vertical axis indicates the ethical point of view. This is measured by what kind of means of their political achievement they select. The top side of this scale represents the view that there needs to be an objective principle of what is right and wrong. So, those who are on the top side of this spectrum suggest that all individuals are judged and treated under the agreements made by an agreeable justice such as law and contract. By contrast, the bottom side of this spectrum represents the view that those who are in the power create the rule for all.

The horizontal axis indicates the world view of these philosophy. The left side of this scale represents the view that there will be an alternative world which has not yet existed in the current natural world. So, those who are on the left side of the spectrum have a strong devotion to aspire creating their dreaming ideal world. By contrast, the right side scale represents the view that there is an inevitable nature of both human individuals and their world which cannot be eliminated. Those who are on the right side of the spectrum regard highly of the already established order of human politics.
