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
