Economics has two sides, the left side is anarchism, no government control and the right is facisim, where the government controls everything. In social beliefs there is Authoritarian and Libertarian. An athourtarian is someone who values control over freedom, a libertarian is someone who prefers freedom over conrtol.
The political spectrum is a idea that represents political beliefs. The left and right wing became know as a spectrum around 1857. The far left is anarchism, where there would be chaos due to the rejection of the government or loss of government. The far right is fascism, where there is a government with a powerful leader who dictates everything in the country. Afghanistan has aspects of anarchy, because the civilians reject the government. Countries like Italy and Portugal have aspects of fascism. Major political parties in Canada are Conservative, Liberals, NDP, bloc Quebecois, and the green party.
