Regarding the topic of the article, while I understand frustration with corruption, I'm curious how your perspective on all government as a criminal enterprise alignes with the need for democratic structures to protect human rights and social order.

I'LL suggest once more an amendment to your Real Political Spectrum.

On the premises that (i) theft if wrong, (ii) income (production) taxation is theft, and (iii) marxism supports "progressive tax" theft; does it not stand to reason that any party that supports income tax is marxist in principle?

In the Communist Manifesto, "A heavy progressive tax" is the second of its ten fundamental planks (p.45 of 176). How can a conservative party be considered anything but, at the very least, left leaning?

Thanks for your terrific work, and I hope you seriously consider this very principled argument.
