A two-dimensional graph of political viewpoints. The axes are belief in economic freedoms and belief in personal freedoms. Democrats believe in personal freedoms but few economic freedoms, Republicans just the opposite. Communists believe in neither, and Libertarians believe in both.
Before I saw the Nolan Chart, I thought Libertarians were just wierd Republicans, but now I realize they're awesome and vote for them every time.
