That leaves out all the social aspects that drive ideologies.

Not sure I agree with the labels. But just accepting them at face value, I'm probably "paleo-conservative", but very close to the line of "modern conservative".

I wish some of these political diagrams would acknowledge the difference between federal government and state/local government, but I've never seen one that does.

What! ...No Total Volunteer Socialism?

Not sure it exists outside of Shangri-La, but still.

Paleo-conservative. I like the sound of that. That's me.

I'm between paleo and modern conservative.

This Venn is suspect, because Modern Liberalism is much, much closer to Socialism than it is to Modern Conservatism. If you are trying to tell me that the only difference is Universal Healthcare, what else is incorrect in their model?

And what the hell is Minarchism? Making shite up is not way to get ahead in life, son.

I thought that was called creativity or innovation.

Minarchism is not made up. If you've ever seen a flag with a diagonal dividing black and yellow that is minarchist/voluntarist.

And to demonstrate that modern liberalism is indeed close to modern conservatism... exhibit A: Dubya ... Obama. Find me a major philosophic difference other than gay marriage.

Total socialism! Give me some free $#it!

Goal of voluntarism/Freemarketeer...but..practice what this calls Minarchism. Good term IMO.
