Seems unable to capture Georgism

Open peter-mogensen opened this issue 7 years ago • 16 comments

Hi, As a Georgist/geo-libertarian, I'm happy to see a multi-dimensional political spectrum, since I've always thought that the 2-dimensional "political compass" was way too simple.

However... 8values also seems incapable of capturing the scale on which Georgism operates - judging from the questions.

An example would be: "Public utilities like roads and electricity should be publicly owned."

A Georgist would argue that roads are completely different than "electricity" (I suppose we are talking about the energy - not the distribution network). A road is a monopoly on a natural opportunity. Producing energy is not. Some specific resources needed for electricity production might be - but not the electricity it self.

The question makes little sense to a Georgist.
