Political Compass

Could anyone explain or define each term ? I know that libertarian can have different meaning according to country.
Also i am not sure about what an authoritarian is, in political meaning at least; is it a conservative person ?

Well, Libertarianism emphasizes more of your own choices. Like freedom of choice and political freedom

Authoritarianism enforces obedience to the government.

In other words Libertarianism is more of your own freedom, authoritarianism is more focusing on the government and it’s laws to the max

Extreme left = morals are guidelines/socialism
Extreme right = morals are strict and pretty much just the opposite of whatever the extreme left wants at the moment/capitalism
Extreme authoritarian = totalitarian
Extreme libertarianism = extreme governmental complacency/extremely limited interference

Most people are somewhere in-between as you see in everyone’s graphs. It’s kind of silly to try to simplify everyone’s complex opinions into a 2-axis graph, but I do get that it’s just a cool quiz. There are people that are “extreme left” but then will love one aspect of the “extreme right” and vice versa and same thing with authoritarianism/libertarianism. Some people might want the government to leave the people alone except for in cases of drug cartels or something.
