Well your labels are inaccurate in that case. And those axes are not particularly independent from one another.
While I personally agree that the traditional political compass is a flawed and subjective view of the diversity of political views, it does a fairly good job of quantifying some differences that exist within the left and right that often confuse people otherwise. And it does seem to adequately categorize the vast majority of people in the west, even if imperfectly. So I don’t really get all the hate.
I should hope they’re not independent, it’s the same axis.
The x axis is reform vs revolution, this is independent from the question of who directs the authority.
the original political compass allows for people, who are in favor of a dictatorship of capital and are opposed to changing it, to portray themselves as various degrees of ‘libertarian’ or even ‘left’. They are anything but in my opinion.
I don’t think authority can be separated from context of political economy, as it is in the original one. If anything splitting those up like they’re independent variables is muddying the waters.
