I removed the reference to horseshoe theory from the Three Telos model section, because it doesn't seem that a ternary representation would support horseshoe theory. In order for the diagram to do that, wouldn't it have to wrap around in some way, like a cylinder or sphere? If it should be there, feel free to reinstate it with an explanation of how it relates to the telos model. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 09:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
: [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] No. This is an explanation of horseshoe theory and why it arrises in the the left right model. Horseshoe theory shows the failing of the standard left/right dichotomy. This model has no issue with Nazis begin just as centrist as liberals since there is the extra component of liberalism. Taking that out is bad. The horseshoe could easily be drawn on this diagram with the middle at the liberal end and the two sides ending up at National Socialism. Also, you refer to the left right political spectrum within this article. Not only does this confuse matters but your refer to Friedman (A classical liberal) as somebody on the right. Furthermore, you are removed a pretty good video explanation of this theory. Your changes have greatly reduced the quality of the article. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 16:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
:: I suppose I'm saying that I don't see how drawing a horseshoe on the Telos chart is any more informative than drawing a clockwise/counterclockwise arrow on a Political Compass chart; and thus that the association requires more explanation. For that matter, the Nolan chart may show the horseshoe theory just as easily as (if not moreso than) the Telos chart. So I'd think it would need its own section - something about political spectra that are represented by curved surfaces.
:: As for Friedman being right, I was referring to economic right. The 2D chart on this page puts classical liberalism right-of-center, and in particular, the Political Compass authors consider him to be quite a ways on the right; see [[https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2]]).
