Each worldview and social movement has its own relational and conceptual Order. But as soon as we step towards Chaos into Cultureland or Innovationland, placing worldviews is messy and incoherent. This space is where worldviews are formed and reformed, not held to as precise, unshakable doctrine (that happens later, to the left). The examples listed are now — or at one time were — well outside of mainstream norms. But each also has aspects that are currently mainstream to at least one group.

Additionally, the ideas in any middle space are provocative because they threaten the way things are. I hope it’s evident that including them as examples isn’t an endorsement, denunciation, or implying equivalence.
