I dismantled the part of your post that was crap, not the part that wasn't.

When I talk about the different parts of the political spectrum, I'm talking about something as simple-minded as "keep things the way they are" versus "change things." That makes the concept so vague as to be useless. I can think of countless examples of "liberals" who want to keep things the way they are and "conservatives" who want to do things differently.

The real political differences are between individualism and statism. Everything else, economics, political policies, and all the rest, derive from these basics.

There are statist Republicans, and individualist Democrats. The core ideas are deeper than political parties.
