MATERIALISM
It seems to me that the great divide on a personal level is between
individualism and collectivism. In a metaphysical sense the opposite
poles are idealism and materialism. Idealism might take the form of
spiritual values or "unshakable will" as in the case of the Nazis.
The latter were clearly more inclined to collectivism than
individualism ("Nichts fuer uns, alles fuer Deutschland!"). Their
"will" derived from that of the Fuehrer.
I think this chart answers the question as to how Nazis differed
from conservatives and Communists as well, at least as regards the
main current of their ideology. The National Socialist Party did
have a left wing that took "socialism" seriously, but it sort of
lost out when the crunch came. Its leader Gregor Strasser got the
chop in the Night of the Long Knives.
Notice that collectivism and materialism seem to have an affinity,
as do idealism and individualism. That probably accounts for the
hostility of the left towards religion. Needless to say, as a
conservative, I believe that the future lies in the upper R.H.
quadrant. Collectivism, in the form of Marxism, has been dealt a
heavy blow by the collapse of the Soviet Union. It survives as a
sort of fantasy/myth in Western universities. Materialism has been
undermined by modern physics, only the materialists don't know it
yet. (Physics is not their strong suit). Their concept of "science"
is out of the 19th century.
The chart is purely qualitative. I suppose it could be quantified,
as was Nolan's chart, to allow a person's political position to
be plotted. (Sounds kind of like work).
