The political compass is actually a horse shoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory
Neither the political compass nor horseshoe theory are accurate. The political compass erases class analysis, and as such equates the presence of the state with an absence of freedom in a linear fashion, when an accurate reading is in differentiating what class controls authority and thus has freedom, the working classes or capitalists. Horseshoe theory equates working class states with capitalist states, overly focusing on the presence of the state and again drawing a blind eye towards class.
