Interesting. Though I myself would consider myself to be "Radical Collective, "Radical Liberty", "Radical Acceptance", "Radical Naturalism", "Ecology", "Radical Expansionist", and "Radical Rule of Many". I am pleased my little work of art made an impression though.
I also used to be "Radical rule of many" some time ago, but then I realized said "many" need to be educated first. I wouldn't trust the majority to decide whether to use GMO or not, whether to invest into new iPhone or space research, such decisions require experts.
Dude... You can be for an EDUCATED democracy xD... Never claimed this chart was perfect, nor that it was specific.
Yet if you say as you think, you do seem to value democratic decision making, given that the facts are freely given, and taught to the public. I aint one to disagree with you there. I just think that once you limit power, it naturally ends up corrupting, or at least starts attracting the power hungry. I am all kinds of against that xD
Though I am in the "Ecology" thingy, not because I am against genetic engineering, but because I like nature, and want environmental regulation to prevent the pollution of our planet. Not that I'm expecting you to be against that, just doing the same as you. Explaining myself.
And I had a feeling that the "Acceptance v Purity" thing could have many interpretations. Before I give my interpretation, may I ask what you interpretere it to mean?

Well, but what if in some cases people don't want to be educated? And still want to vote?
I see "acceptance" as an idea that all cultures are equally valuable and deserve respect, and "purity" as there are some objectively good cultures and objectively bad ones. While I do admit that we may occasionally learn something from inferior cultures, like art, interesting holidays, etc, all in all they still need to be eliminated and their people set free and taught better ways.

In Denmark we have a simple law that addresses that. In our constitution it states that it is the duty of the nation to ensure all citizens are educated. There is "schooling duty" up to a certain level. After that, its a choice. No ruling council of experts needed there. And we are both the 2nd happiest people on earth, and the least corrupt nation. (Studies done by the UN)
I personally see it as a mix of that and other stuff.
In short: Purity for me, equals ethnic and cultural nationalism, wanting to "purify" their way to a homogeneous nation, while Acceptance equals cultural melting pot, along with the open acceptance of minorities and often oppressed groups. Not saying your interpretation is irrelevant or false though!
