Many political theories have mutual aims, and indeed, your graph even shows this since you have listed Authoritarianism as both a point on the graph, and half the graph itself! The same goes for Individualism, Voluntaryism, and Collectivism.I did this to show that authoritarianism can exist in corporatism and communism, and that authoritarain govts sometimes display qualities of both, like Libya and Egypt.

Nothing in anarchism advocates a need for living a rural life; anarchism is the ideology that embraces the complete removal of the government from a country. Individual types of anarchism may advocate things like ruralism, but some types (like anarcho-capitalism) advocate nothing of the sort.on your individual level, sure, but as far as anarchism reaching Urbanistic developments? Impossible, the entire system would crumble. An urban anarchist is urban because of the benefits of a law abiding society. Laws also include building codes and such that anarchists also refuse to follow. Thats why anarchy is slap dab in the middle of ruralistic society, as that is the only one that they can dwell in large numbers. I am well aware of what anarchy is. But perhaps I went to far with the "rural/urban" divisions.

If you want a simple graph which covers the main political ideologies, and which most people can fit themselves onto, I would suggest the Nolan Chart: http://www.nolanchart.comIm trying to figure out how to take that test but I cant find the link to take it. By the way, I am not saying my additions are right or wrong, that is is merely my opinion with that grid I posted. In no way did I post it to make people mad. I posted it to bump the discussion up another level.
Did I say "perfect"? If I did I apologize. I do not consider this graph perfect.

It makes much better sense to do it as a circle than a square.
