Sure, but I do feel that by the time you've picked a niche label, you've filtered out where you disagree.
I don't think so. Labels only have so much resolving power. They represent people who are broadly aligned in values, but not necessarily on every specific issue.
For instance, I think most libertarians have individual dissent from their norm on various topics. It should be easy to find examples in the case of libertarianism, but I believe this applies to other political ideologies too.
"Libertarian" is far more broad than, say, Marxist-Leninist or Anarcho-Communist. When you go from "Marxist" as an umbrella to "Marxist-Leninist" as a category within Marxism, you are generally conforming to that specification's tendencies. At that point of specificity, there are more "solved" questions than unsolved.
Oh yeah sure. More solved questions than unsolved seems like a good way to put it. But there are still points of dissent though.
