I think where I was going there was that it seems that on the linear spectrum that individual rights weigh less than economics.

The linear model doesn't really cover all the bases though. It's just the more accepted of all of them and worked best for me in this argument, where my point was that Obama is a liberal therefore would be better cast as a Marxist than a fascist.
I like this model though, although it excludes Marxism as Marxism can't be achieved unless all states decide to do away with government:
