    It’s almost as if authoritarian/liberal and capitalism/socialism are orthogonal directions on the political compass

      To be fair, the political compass is a vast oversimplification itself. For example, there cannot be an Anarchist Capitalism in any fashion, as Capitalism definitionally has a requirement for hierarchy to exist.

      It’s better to understand values and positions than try to place people on an imaginary grid.
