Sorry, this is a sequel, but I'm missing the clues on how to read this.

Each one is the full 4 quadrant compass as seen by each of the quadrants.

Top-left is authleft perceiving all politics as the imposition of the power of one class over another (making libleft and libright meaningless terms)

Top-right is authright perceiving all politics as relating back to national identity (making libleft and libright meaningless terms)

Bottom-left is libleft perceiving no difference between domination by state or private institutions (making the left/right distinction in the authoritarian/libertarianism axis meaningless)

Bottom-right is libright perceiving libertarianism as a right-wing phenomenon (making libleft nonexistent).

Ok. Interesting. I've always thought of myself as lib-left... but I disagree with the analysis from lib-left here, so maybe I'm auth left...

Don't take any of it too seriously; it's a horoscope for politics nerds.
