I think there should be some new terms used..
Right now we have two terms to describe opposite ends of the spectrum: Liberal and conservative.
However, there are 2 different spectrums in politics that these labels apply to: Social and economic.
It's all too possible to fall on one end of the social spectrum and be on the complete other end of the economic spectrum, so I think these needs to be some sort of clarification.
Since the terms liberal and conservative are used as identifying labels, I would readily assign them to the social spectrum. Meanwhile, the economic spectrum should be seen as a different field.
What are some terms that are used to describe people on opposite ends of the economic spectrum?
(And, I'm not a fan of labels.. I hate being called an independant.. but this is better for shorthand in conversational use)
