This is coolness.
The only change I would make is to switch "revolutionary" with "radical", but that is just nit-picking about semantics.

Thank you!
"Radical" can refer to either end of the political spectrum, though. The radical right is reactionary, in that they want to return to the social norms of an (often imagined) past time, while the radical left is revolutionary, in that they want to change things to a way they've never really been done before.
On the subject of changes, though, I think I'm going to change "internationalism" to "supranationalism" and "globalism" to "internationalism", both to get rid of That Awful Buzzword and to acknowledge that movements like eg internationalist socialism would definitely be in the final box on that scale, rather than the penultimate one.
Reactionaries hate radicals of all kinds, though. Right-wing radicals aren't the same as reactionaries.
Reactionaries want to wind things back, radicals want to charge ahead in a new direction.
Revolutionaries, on the other hand, move in circles...
Wikipedia at least says: "Reactionary ideologies can also be radical, in the sense of political extremism, in service to re-establishing the status quo ante." But that's a fair point, and I suppose "revolutionary" is almost equally ambiguousReactionaries hate radicals of all kinds, though. Right-wing radicals aren't the same as reactionaries.

Is it possible to be on the edge/in between tiles? Personally, I feel there should be something in between "social democracy" and "classical liberalism".
Also, what's the difference between violent revolution and politicide? Is politicide here targeted assassinations?
Oh definitely, it's supposed to be a sliding scale.
Politicide is systematically hunting down and killing political threats or opponents, real or percieved.

Lieutenant James Oliver Smith, callsign Silver Wolf.
Smith served in the Sagittarian Army Air Forces for nine years between 3259 and 3268, seeing service as a sniper in the paratroops and fighting in several engagements during the Great War. After he mustered out, he served as an SRT sniper in the Sagittarian Royal Gendarmes for six years. In 3274, he joined the elite Silver Team of the Sagittarian Space Police Force, becoming among the first new recruits into the special investigation unit. When the Sagittarian Empire was dissolved the following year and its worlds became constituent states of the Central Galactic Union, the Silver Team unit became part of the newly minted Galactic Space Police. The GSP was reorganized as the Interstellar Criminal Police Commission, dedicated to investigating major crimes that transcended the boundaries of the member worlds. Silver Team was recast as Special Action Team 47, an elite covert unit responsible for high-risk hostage rescue, counter-terrorist operations, and high-priority special investigations.
Smith served as the group's top sniper and an air assault expert. He assisted in various covert operations throughout the 3270s, until Silver Team became public in 3280 after their role in resolving the Keystone Incident, in which Smith also participated as a member of the combined ground team that assaulted terrorist Constantine Bronstein's base. Thereafter, he continued to serve as second in command of Operational Group Kaleidoscope until his own death in late October 3285 during a police investigation into still-classified events on the planet Sicron.
Like other members of Silver Team, Smith was given an animal-based callsign and patterned his personal gear off that animal motif. His combat hardsuit had a canine grotesque armored mask, and "ears" designed to act as directional microphones and miniature rangefingers to pick up distant sounds for surveillance and for target acquisition.
He is depicted here in his police duty uniform (left) with ribbons and service badges, including the Close Combat Badge in black and the Air Cross, and in his field combat hardsuit (right).

"I know you think this is your parking space but my turret says otherwise."
Draft of a logo for the Parti Francophone in Kanan's Our Fair Country timeline. I'm still not sure about the shape of the F (especially the bottom), anyone have any suggestions?
I prefer the first tbh
And a second version with a non-italic F and a space between the stem. Which one's better IYO?

For some reason, everytime I see the initials "PF" I'm always thinking of the PF squad from the Metal Slug games; and if you ask me about the logos here, I'm personally more fond of the second design since it seems more catchy to me.

All the four different versions I thought were the best, combined to fit in one image. The x-axis is "italicization of the P", and the y-axis is "italicization of the F".
Sorry about the spam/borderline like-whoring (?) : P
Full size
I like the bottom right best.
