I will watch the video, I am currently wondering if I could use just three values, each corresponding to a color (red, blue green), so that generates an rgb color. I would find it easy to see a colored square next to any movement or organization.

Perhaps the first is how socialist (red scale), the second is how free ( blue scale) and the third is how centralized power would be (green scale). 0-255 each value

Edit: But I think the three variables would need to be chosen more carefully to be truly independent of each other. Too much interdependence between socialism and freedom for example

Trying to quantify political views is still a problem, though.

It always is. Which is perhaps why the views should be ignored but their impacts on the majority of the people, if implemented, could be measured or extrapolated. And I would not like to measure things that vary between nations like trade or standards of living.
