Political compass for the21st century
#52
Mao Zedong would be roughly at the place Stalin is.
Tolstoy - probably close to Gandhi. A non-violent religious visionary, only Christian rather than Gandhi. He was also a great teacher, BTW, he started in Russia something like American chatauqua movement. I would also argue, Jesus fits in the same place.
Bonaparte - I'd colour him Yellow, since the revolution he wanted to spread across Europe was a classic liberal, bourgeois revolution. Closer to Purple than Black, since he was against traditional, Thomistic institutions of old Catholic Europe.
John Lennon - at the border between Red and Purple. His countercultural leanings are obvious, but he also "was sympathetic to the International Marxist Group, a Trotskyist group formed in Britain in 1968" [from Wikipedia]

Confucius - very close to Aquinas.
Stapledon - probably close to Dawkins, which is the place you want to put Freud as well. Best place for great intellectuals?
