The Three Telos Model or Triangle political Map is a way to describe political believes based on the core axiom of the philosophy. It is based on the concept of a ternary plot where the different underlying philosophies can be mixed but must sum up to the totality of the of the persons ideological position. The incompatibility of the three methods has long been known. Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman advocated for the necessity of putting one of two desired values ahead of the other by stating “A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”
This view of the political landscape was invented to explain what is often called horseshoe theory. A classic example of this is how in economist and philosopher Friedrich Hayek's book ''The Road to Serfdom'' he describes Fascism as being an extreme version of communism. This explanation does not have the failings of the simple left-right political spectrum. A video explanation of this model can be found [https://youtu.be/LA9dFRCX0KM here].
