| The '''political spectrum''' is only reasonably described objectively using the colours that various [[faction]]s have chosen or would recognize to describe their concerns and [[common values]]. We invite them to write very detailed summaries of their own beliefs, and try only to summarize them here as: | | The '''political spectrum''' is only reasonably described objectively using the colours that various [[faction]]s have chosen or would recognize to describe their concerns and [[common values]]: |

| The main ways in which this matters are the forming of [[tendency]] and [[faction]]s in the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], the different [[refactoring]] priorities they apply in the [[content wiki]] and even in the [[R&D wiki]] ([[Pinks]] for instance hate factionalism and stereotypes and so try to deny they exist, which in many cases is just a sheer power grab to let them quietly define all terms themselves). Recognizing the factions up front that exist in the real world helps identify where each political attitude can help [[Consumerium Services]] as a whole. As a rough stereotype guide imagine:

| For instance, Blues could ideally help with the [[self-funding]] and [[prediction market]] and other [[betting]] aspects, and perhaps interface to [[corporate purchasing]]. Pinks on the other hand would be better directed to [[fair trade]] problems and projects to get rid of [[slavery]] and [[child labour]]. [[Reds]] would waste everyone's time on the funding side and would inject useless rhetoric into the campaigns, but in general they would be great [[Consumerium researchers]], translators, etc.[[Greens]] seem to be more scientific and disciplined than any of these others and have a doctrine that actually evolved after 1960 when many things about the real world were known that were not known when other [[ideology]] originated.

|
| This kind of division will help divide the [[Consumerium social club]] up into [[creative network]]s that can each do great work separately that they could not do by trying to co-operate in areas where they have values that just clash.

| It takes all kinds, to make a world, and to make [[moral purchasing power]] too.
