Hamas and Peronism
Measured distance across six axes
The same broad family. They agree within three points on EC, AU, SC. No axis separates them by eight points or more.
Axis by axis
| Axis | Hamas | Justicialism | Gap | Reading | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | −02 | −05 | 3 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| CU · Social and cultural order | +09 | +03 | 6 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| AU · Organisation of power | +09 | +06 | 3 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| SC · Scale of decision | +04 | +06 | 2 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| ID · Rule of membership | +09 | +04 | 5 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| CH · Method and tempo | +08 | +01 | 7 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
Each axis runs from −10 to +10; the distance is the straight-line separation across all six at once, out of a maximum of 49.0. How the scoring works →
The evidence behind the widest gaps
A distance figure is worth nothing unless the scores behind it can be checked. These are the artefacts supporting the axes that separate these two most.
Hamas · CH +08
Coded +8: armed struggle as the constitutive method.
- Documented act or statuteThe 7 October 2023 attack killed around 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
Justicialism · CH +01
Coded near neutral: constitutional in method, with a mobilised movement and organised street power.
- Documented act or statuteThe movement's founding day commemorates a mass mobilisation that freed its leader from detention in 1945.
What this comparison does not establish
Proximity means similarity of stated position. It carries no claim about competence, circumstance, scale of operation, or what either organisation actually did to the people under it. Two organisations can sit close together and produce entirely different histories, because those things are not on any axis and could not be.
Hamas
1987– · Gaza, West Bank
Armed Palestinian nationalism in an Islamist frame, rejecting the negotiated framework in favour of resistance.
Peronism
1946– · Argentina
Social justice, economic independence and political sovereignty, delivered by a leader speaking directly for the shirtless masses.
Distance is not the whole answer. Two organisations can sit the same distance apart for entirely different reasons, and the reason is the content of any claim about them. Open the comparison in the atlas to weight the axes yourself.
