Yeah, as a bit I like to say I want to make the far authleft point on the political compass look like the libertarian right, but every time I've actually done a political compass test, I basically never land all that authoritarian. I do tend to land to the leftmost edge, though. I just don't think the political compass is all that useful as political analysis, tbh. The "Overton Window" is a good tool for explaining the accepted political range of a community, but for assessing individual or party positions, it's just not a useful means of analysis. Like, most actual positions people actually hold tend to fall along a diagonal strip of it from libleft to authright, and while libright people and groups do exist, they're generally incoherent, have no realistically practicable policy aims, are self contradictory, etc, and the "authleft" as most of these tests determine it... really doesn't exist outside of a handful of MLs who do it for the bit.
