You're right. I've replaced this bastard with Max Stirner, who was also a bastard, but at least is widely recognized as an influential figure in the history of political doctrines.

You need better information:

Also, look up aryanism.net, which is run by actual neo-Nazis, hostile to traditional Christianity and calling themselves Gnostics.
Finally, there are the anti-Christian quotes from Hitler's table talk:
Christianity is the prototype of Bolshevism: the mobillization by the Jew of the masses of slaves with the object of undermining society
Christianity is not a natural religion for the Germans, but a religion that has been imported and which strikes no responsive chord in their hearts and is foreign to the inherent genius of the race
Make no mistake, I despise Nazism and Fascism, as well as religious traditionalism, but I still see a fundamental difference between them.
Quote:Your map excludes all liberal democrats, as far as I can see.
There are two sectors descended from liberalism. I mean, classical liberalism was a 18th century phenomenon which doesn't exist anymore. Both moderate Purples like Obama and moderate Yellows like Merkel can claim the mantle of liberal democracy.
Finally, I think the Nolan chart makes good sense in an unanimous society, which agrees on what should be done and only has disagrees about how to do it. Nolan measures the amount of government intervention, but doesn't differentiate between reasons for it. For example, it cannot distinguish between censorship used for PC reasons and for traditional religious reasons. Or between intervening on the market because you want to quench inequality and intervening in order to subordinate businesses to the military.
