In reality, there are no lines. And that's exactly why I say, it's not a step forward to add another vague idealist axis on top of a vague undefined idealist axis. Politics is not geometrical, there isn't a concept of ordered values. The entire method of thinking is wrong, and that video helps explain what a more appropriate alternative model based on human history is like.
Adding an axis is just walking forward down a wrong path; a move in the wrong direction by suggesting the issue is about how much fidelity we have.
