The five most prominent this century are conservatism, socialism, liberalism, communism, and fascism. Ideologies can agree on some matters while violently disagreeing on others. These ideologies can be from a number of angles. For example:
Who is in control – from dictatorship to democracy. • Philosophy – Left wing or right wing.
Attitude to private property – from capitalist to Marxist. • Social control – from totalitarian to libertarian.
