Yes, I know, the political compass is bullshit. Please don't comment just to say that.
It looks to me like you have to believe in some pretty fucked up shit to end up on the top half of the grid, like restricting people's sex lives, imposing religion, and persecuting minorities. Even though I've become strongly ML over the past year and a half or so, I still end up libleft.
on that test, the authoritarian/libertarian scale is simply a test of how racist you are. i havent taken it in a while, but its probably hard to get in the top left, considering the end goal of all communism is libertarian anyways
Just took it and got libleft (I'm ML). Tried it again, picking all the most awful "authoritarian" options, and only just edged into authleft, so I don't even know what you would have to pick to get properly top left.
Yeah I got (-9.8,-8.2). Now I'm more of a classical Marxist than a ML, so I might score less authoritarian than most people here but this would suggest I'm almost a complete anarchist.
But none of that is exactly surprising, this quiz was made by some libertarian nerds.
I don't know how to suss out the implications, but I was part of a group of "leftists" (read: Bernie Bros - Buttigieg Bros) who all took the test, and absolutely every single person landed somewhere between Chomsky and Kropotkin. The test is either a giant misfire, or a lot of neolibs still somehow vote against their heart's intentions. I dunno.
