Stories work to teach children simple morals, why not complicated political and economic concepts?

The art of the farmer, the sheep, and the wolf were taken from Scribblenauts if anyone is interested.

well one answer would be for the wolves to become dogs and aid the farmer and protect him from the sheep but I don't like that answer because that means to become a servant but that was my first thought as a solution any thoughts would be appreciated

You sort of can satisfy each group, at least temporarily, if you sort of leave each point of the triangle to tend to an important part of society:
Absolutists should be responsible for the center, the capital of the society, from which stability radiates, both in the spiritual as well as in the physical sense. They have to be unbending and keep rules and traditions to keep the foundations of civilization from crumbling.
The communists, religion in the past, should be responsible for the social and spiritual frontier of the society, they to some degree take care of the weak, providing sometimes material and sometimes spiritual comfort.
The individualists should be responsible for the physical frontier of the society, where things aren't certain and strength is needed for survival, flexibility is needed in order to adapt to different situations.

I'd say this is the recipe for a healthy society, but the fact is that the two parts of the triangle that operate in the center (communists/religion and absolutists) are always looking to expand their sphere of influence and often don't care that taking over too much of the functions of the other two points destroys the balance of things, because they don't realize for example that the logic of a capital bureaucrat doesn't work very well in a frontier town.

Probably if you look at the high point of most empires you should find this sort of societal balance, whereas when crises hits and the balance between these parts collapse you get the destruction of civilization.

The big problem though, is that while civilization is nice and burning shit for warmth sucks, civilization advancement benefits mostly the controlling absolutist part of the triangle, which is why the political concept of absolutism started roughly around the 16th century (correct me if i'm wrong on that), truth being that medieval kings were way less powerful in general than kings in the 18th century, which is probably what ultimately led to massive revolutions, which in turn ended up in the ridiculously totalitarian ideologies of communism and fascism. In order to keep things balanced you'd need a guy ambitious and motivated enough to take power, but wise enough to know that he shouldn't take ALL the power, or things really go bad.

The fact of the matter is that as you yourself said in another video, absolutism is the most natural of the three when it comes to human beings, which means absolutists should have the lion's share of power, but not enough to overpower the other two points if they come together. It isn't an easy balancing act by any means.
