The political spectrum is a way of characterizing different pollical parties, they are shown by being placed on a line of the right or left side as well as top and bottom. People can decide where they sit and agree with political parties by their values, personality and life experiences. The left side of the political spectrum is communist and socialist which encourages communal ownership and a government that is owned by the people. They are more extreme with revolutionary views. The right side of the spectrum is mostly fascism and some oppressive ideologies, including extreme nationalistic viewpoints. They want to restore traditions and limit change to keep the society a certain way. They encourage private ownership of property for citizens. Libertarianism believes that a person should have maximized freedom whether authoritarianism is to restrict and control citizen’s rights. The government of Ingsoc and Big Brother fit in the authoritarian left side of the political spectrum because they are being controlled of their freedom and rights from the government and they don’t have their own property/land or business.
