It's horseshoe theory refined and codified. That being said I never had a problem with horseshoe theory, and the way it's presented now is a lot easier to explain.

Why? To me, it's evident that there's something wrong with the horshoe model.

Horseshoe theory is a 5th grader's attempt to explain that all authoritarian states are shitholes, and that the more authoritarian they get, the more the shit multiplies and blends together. Commies and natsocs use the bending inward of the horseshoe to dismiss the theory, saying their policies are nothing that other police state's policies, and while that is true, the bending of the shoe isnt meant to say authoritarian governments behave the same, just that theyre equally bad. I think it's a subtler meaning that gets lost in interpretation.

I like cone theory better though because there's no inward bending, the subtext that conveys authoritarianism is bad comes from them being on the fat end of the cone, and it cant be discounted cause "look you're still on the opposite side of the circle"

The horseshoe graph implies that what defines authoritarianism is radicalism, though, which isn't true. Ideological radicalism has zero to do with how totalitarian or authoritarian an ideology will be, and radicalism in action is required just as much for genuine pacifism as for oppression (more by the former, in fact, as the oppressor can put someone else's life on the line).

The Free Market Party

People agree to do business with party members when and where viable, ideally with full liability in case of accidents or incompetence, and with private mediation instead of gov't courts in case of conflict.

Those running for election get bonded (i.e. insured, see below) and agree not to lobby for non-libertarian groups after retirement. Votes are dictated by libertarian principles, either abstaining from voting or polling the FMP for direction when they aren't sure what these principles dictate. Failure to vote correctly results in forfeiture of the bond, with proceeds going to party members.

If party members happen to get wealthy by avoiding some of the more ridiculous taxes and regulations the feds with to apply, so much the better.
