The Economic-Political Map
Anarchism is real democracy — from the People, the grassroots, and upwards.
Explore economic democracy and political-administrative autonomy. Move the black star to examine the balance of influence.

- Libertarian degree

- Statism

Autonomy and socialism determine the position. The other four degrees follow from the formula.
How the degrees are calculated
Statism = 100 − Autonomy
Capitalism = 100 − Socialism
Libertarian degree = 100 − Authoritarian degree
AUTHORITARIAN DEGREE = 100[([(STATISM%/100)2+(CAPITALISM%/100)2]/2) 1/2]%

The top vertex is 100% libertarian; the bottom is 100% authoritarian. The centre is 50% of each. Both lateral vertices are approximately 70.71% authoritarian. Equal-degree curves measure distance from the top vertex, not vertical height alone.
Anarchism requires both autonomy and socialism above 50%. The straight boundaries classify systems; the curves show their combined degree. The 43.75% and 66.666…% authoritarian contours mark the framework’s transitions between direct-democratic, parliamentary and totalitarian zones. Reference labels 35, 71 and 79 are rounded values, shown here as approximately 35.36, 70.71 and 79.06.
The totalitarian zone begins above 66.666…% authoritarian degree, corresponding to below 33.333…% libertarian degree.
