This is the Nolan chart you're talking about, isn't it?

Well no, because Nolan didn't use the term "up-wing". But maybe the 1970s libertarians got their idea from Nolan.

It seems that according to the article, that anyone who is anti-statist is inherently left, which i find rather ironic

In the 1970s in Australia, the libertarian party tried to introduce a two-dimensional spectrum. They described themselves as "up-wing", but couldn't get the term to catch on.

Apparently, this is where out left-right political continuum comes from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_Assembly_(France)

Lol.  I'm french and I thought that was common knowledge.  But indeed I realise now that it is not obvious for non french people.

Even more ironic is the idea that a political spectrum based upon the physical make-up of any national political body could reasonably represent anti-statists anywhere.  Almost as ironic as hearing a political candidate refer to himself as an anarchist.
