Anarchism: rejects all involuntary, coercive forms of hierarchy
Communism: all property is owned and controlled by the state and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.

- Mormons: "The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three physically separate beings, but fully one in love, purpose and will"Modernism: Knowledge is certain, objective and good - Focus is on the object - Hermenutic reasoning
Postmodernism: Knowledge is not certain, not objective and not good - Focus is on the image, or symbol behind the object - Logocentric reasoningThe Enlightenment MovementThe Emerging Church: Truth is fashioned by culture, not scripture.Liberalism: government is at best “a necessary evil.” The chief task of government is to remove obstacles that prevent individuals from living freely or from fully realizing their potential.
