The Ideological Spectrum
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

Toward one end, socialism assigns government a broad equalizing role; toward the other, classical liberalism assigns it little role at all.
Watch for
American "liberal" and "conservative" are positions inside the spectrum, not its endpoints.
