That depends entirely on your scale/perspective. In the US, what most of the developed world consider reasonable centrist policies that “everyone” agrees on is considered radical left by many in the US, thanks to decades of indoctrination.
Also, there are more axises (axii?) than left-right. Sticking every political position on a left-right axis is a very US point of view.
Democratic vs authoritarian
Open society vs closed society
Free market vs central planning
Interventionism vs isolationism
Individual liberty vs collective responsibility
…Just to name a few.The plural of “axis” is “axes”, pronounced “AX-ease”.
TIL, TYVM
Center or center right normally ( actual center think way left of Obama). It’s a taxation concept for a capitalist based society… Source I am a Geoist Minarchist Libertarian. When I test I normally hit 1 square to the right of center and 6-7 into liberty.
We should replace the property tax with a LVT.
Centrist economic policy (no hard one way position on economy), libertarian social policy (little government). Hard to say really… what would you call a system which advocates workers rights while also supporting a free market?
It’s basically a version of Georgism, rebranded to avoid Georgism’s left-wing association.
Is it left wing or right wing?
Most of the underlying concepts are left wing, but the people using the label aren’t.
(The only example I can think of is Foldvary, who I’d hesitate to call either left- or right-wing).
The enemy of progress is perfection
I’ll forever find it depressing that leftists have no quams about authoratianism as long as it’s branded for the people but will refuse to work with centrists who want the same things as them
