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. It 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.
