What people often refer to as “left” and “right” are really “southwest” and “northeast” (respectively) on the typical political compasses that you see online. Fascism grants no civil liberties (far north, meaning authoritarian) and it has a mixed economy (neither west nor east).
Eh. It’s introducing the idea of political spectrum rather than binary (R/D) or linear (Left/Center/Right) politics.
But it’s hard to visualize outside of a 2D plane. And it’s even harder for people to conceptualize ideology that isn’t their own. So… an imperfect model of a complex system.

The political compass is completely asinine
