Mark Surman has an interesting blogpost reviewing various attempts to broaden the left/right divide with the new open paradigm. After a review of the other alternative attempts, he comes up with his own, which is pictured above.

He concludes that: “We need both halves of open. And, while each group needs to insist on doing things its own way, we also need to recognize each other as allies.”

Both communautarians of the left, and the pirate libertarians of the right, can find themselves around the shared value of openness.
