Thank you for the very clear and helpful discussion above. I take your point about political ideology as only one type of ideology. I also take your point about analysis paralysis and government enactment. Having worked for our Uncle S. for a number of years, I've seen and lived that dream.

Several years ago I tried to build a grid map placing the various extremist groups and militias on a violence x-axis and an ideology (L->R) commitment y-axis with overlapping Venn group membership circles...HAH! that didn't work out so well. So, point taken in your response above.
My current research is dedicated to narrative warfare theory building, which is why I'm trying to understand the concepts you raise and use rather precisely and clearly. My own quest is analytic, to increase our understanding of this phenomenon of narrative warfare by attempting analytic distance and epistemological neutrality, but I applaud your dedication and passion in your practice - heaven knows, there's a place and a need in the world for our warriors.
