Thanks for further refining your theory on these triangles. It does make much more sense to place the libertarians and anarcho-capitalists as commoners, instead of nobility.

This is a much-needed update to the Political Triangle theory I previously presented.

Interesting construct, I see the tension here also between the one and the many, However why does the Theonomist circle (oratores) and the fourth estate an extension of this group? Likewise, the construct breaks down further when you use doolitittle trichotomy. I agree that theonomy traditionalist view is more patriachal rather than left feminine (except those who are part of the protestant deformation), Traditionalist/theonomists also set limits/laws and have no problem with bearing the sword in the political realm ( see Rushdoony, North ect) It is unfortunate that Doolitle, like Nietzche have never been exposed to Calvanist and Augustinian political theory. Anyway excellent post thank you for your challenging paradigms.

Oratores speak, they use symbols, images, myth, narrative. That is their power. Likewise with Media/Academia. They are all the same group when viewed through the taxonomy of ‘Method of Coercion’.

Yes, the oratores do set rules, but don’t confuse rules/limits with laws which are enforced by violence.

Where would you place, Charlemain, movements like the puritan revolutionaries, ect.? or Calvins view on the role of the lesser Magistrate?

Did they use violence or words? Sure, most wars and armies are fought with certain justifications (‘in this sign you shall conquer’), but if it is done with a sword, then it’s Bellatores. If it’s done through convincing narrative, then its Oratores.

Narrative ( Samuel Rutherford Lex Rex ect and others) explains the justification however they certainly used the sword. so i guess thats the area of intersection in your Ven diagram

The one thing I don’t understand is why the bottom left includes patriarchy? People occupying that region are generally anti patriarchy now. I feel as though patriarchy would fit the bottom right.

You must be talking about the NRx triangle, which was an early draft. You are correct bottom left is leftist. See my video:left vs right.

I don’t mean to be contrary, but after chewing on it for a while, I have found the first estate a bit awkward to understand. We don’t really know if the original Indo-European priestly caste was ‘leftist’. Judging from various Indo-European mythologies it seems like the first function was originally more focused on maintaining cosmic order through proper sacrifices, as well as creating contracts, and settling legal disputes. I don’t really see what is inherently ‘left wing’, ‘feminine’, or ‘short-term minded’ about this. I’m not sure, but it may be that the first estate mutated into a completely different creature when Christianity came along and brought a new system of ethics.

I guess I get it now; the act of coercing using narratives and myths is essentially feminine, and it is easy for the first estate to take up a leftist worldview since it is a material dependent of the other two estates, just like the under classes.
