PoliticalIdeologies?:

(Before exploring this section you may wish to learn about the PoliticalSpectrum).

LeftWingIdeologies?: BolshevisM? -- CommunisM -- MarxisM? -- SyndicalisM -- SocialisM -- TheNewLeft? -- TheOldLeft? -- TraditionalAnarchism

RightWingIdeologies?: CapitalisM -- ConservatisM? -- NationalSocialism -- NeoConservatism?

LibertarianIdeologies?: AnarchoCapitalism -- LibertarianisM

OtherAndAmbiguousIdeologies?: AnarchisM -- FederalisM -- FeudalisM -- RepublicanisM? -- StatesRights?

TechnoPolitics?: TechnoDemocracy -- TechnoAnarchy? -- TechnoCapitalism? -- TechnoOligarchy?

This categorization doesn't make any sense. Either AnarchoCapitalism and CapitalisM belong together or BolshevisM? and TraditionalAnarchism belong apart. A good sign that something is wrong is that so many traditional things, like RepublicanisM?, are left homeless. Any ideas for fixes?

Here's an idea, which might not be the most useful one. We could arrange the ideologies alphabetically, under the assumption that attempting to group or relate them on a global page raises more questions than it answers. --JimboWales
