Does this meme accurately portray the political compass?

Not really. Grouping a bunch of idealogies into left vs right and authoritarian vs libertarian don't really work.

It's like a knight complaining that his opponents don't fight fair. What he needs to learn is that there no such thing as a fair fight. All warfare are based on deception.

It is quite possible to have multiple leanings at the same time as long as it serves your purpose. You don't pick a strategy based on your leanings, you pick one based on the desired results.

For example, you will let people have a free market as long as the government have sufficient power to intervene before things get out of control. A small government will fail and die if they get a massive shock. At the same time, a huge government will suck away all the money needed elsewhere for purpose that don't really matter before things get out of control.

Not the most "scientific," but relatively close. I'd place the two major parties a bit further left, due to all the RINOs.

I rank somewhere between the Tea Party and the wig sprites. Economically right, with only a handful of reservations. (Because absolute economic freedom means no ability to impede criminal activity.)

At the same time, very socially and morally conservative, yet viewing government as something that should always be viewed with a healthy level of suspicion. Government is a lock and key system. It can lock corruption out of a place; but it can just as easily lock it in.

It's true

I think it falls victim to the bonkers idea that National Socialism isn't radically left wing. Pet peeve of mine. It's as left as it gets.

Not entirely accurate, but it's definitely very close

[Mexicoman101]

Its got the Democrips & Rebloodlicana part right.

[lime_rampljuset]

Kinda.

[Phoenix98]

Nope.

[MenREvil]

No. All right-wingers are inherently racist.

[Thisperson98]

Right and left only is for economics on a political compass.

[MenREvil]

That's why, right-wing economics discriminates minorities and promoves institutional racism.

[Thisperson98]

The left of the compass is were the government has complete control over the economy. The right the people have 100% control over the economy.
That is what the left and right ends means.

[Rissyanne]

That's about the most ridiculous statement I have heard in a while.

[OlderAndWiser]

That comment indicates your inherent prejudice. It isn't always easy to practice what you preach, is it?

[ObscuredBeyond]

The only way that's possible, is if you're claiming other ethnicities are mode-locked into practicing unhealthy economic policies, and are incorrigible. Which sounds a lot more like racism to me than saying there are objective universal standards, and other groups simply haven't followed them.

[Rissyanne]

@OlderAndWiser Very intolerant I would say

[OlderAndWiser]

@Rissyanne Liberals are extremely tolerant. . . as long as you agree with them!

[0112358]

Does this mean right wingers don't exist in ethnically homogenous countries?

[Phoenix98]

Except that the democrats historically are the ones who were in charge of the slave trade and slavery and created the KKK.

The republican party was actually created to end slavery.

[Rissyanne]

@Phoenix98 these liberals are making it so easy for Trump to win again

[disgustingweebtrash]

It's hard to see

[Thisperson98]

Is this one better?

The political compass is pretty bad in my opinion to be honest

But that meme is funny :D

[OrdinaryGentleman]
