Politics these days is not just a matter of Left v right but also authoritarian v Libertarian. I suspect this could be further mapped ie pro-business or anti-business etc.
The Political Compass is a website that asks you 6 pages (not long pages) of questions to establish where you fit in. The chart also makes clear that, despite popular perceptions, the opposite of fascism is not communism but anarchism (ie liberal socialism), and that the opposite of communism ( i.e. an entirely state-planned economy) is neo-liberalism (i.e. extreme deregulated economy). Mine shows me as being marginally to the right of centre but definitely more pro libertarianism than authoritarian.
