The Baha'i Studies Listserv That reminds me political compass rated all candidates including third party ones on their Political Compass chart. Mitt Romney and Barack Obama had identical spot on the grid. Virgil Goode was more Authoritarian and Right than both. Gary Johnson and Rocky Anderson made up the Libertarian Right. Jill Stein and Stewart Alexander made up the Libertarian Left. To get outside of the Authoritarian Right, one must step outside the two party system. The Constitution Party is a rare third party that is part of the Authoritarian Right. The other third parties of note: Justice Party and Libertarian Party are Libertarian Right while the Green Party is Libertarian Left.
Based on Mark Foster (a Baha'i) and his website, he's a self professed member of the Authoritarian Left. He believe the Baha'i Faith mandates the government to grow and manage lots of stuff. His Unitive Socialism is both very Authoritarian and very Left. He is 0-20% on both sides of the Nolan Chart. He believe government should decide everything for people. Don C, you probably think America needs a Green New Deal? I don't align myself with the Greens, but know people who do.
