the "Political Compass" has always struck me as entirely rigged in favor of libertarianism.
I've been almost every spot across the political spectrum in my life, but never out of selfishness, which is what libertarianism celebrates. If you're not libertarian you're authoritarian? nonsense.
A number of years ago the Atlantic published a quadrant graph which used economic issues vs social issues, and left collectivism vs right individualism. Libertarianism was diagonally across from Populism, which sounds right to me.
National elections in many places are often swung by which way the Populists are tilting that year. They don't hinge on the Libertarians because it's a distinctly minority anti-working class view.
