    This isn't definitive, it's a plagiarized, shortened version of the political compass test. And that chart...

    There are so many things wrong with this chart....

    • Anarcho-Socialism isn't really a thing, since almost all Anarchism is socialist. Social Anarchism is an umbrella term that includes Anarcho-Communists, Anarcho-Syndicalists and Mutualists.
    • Anarcho-Collectivism is archaic, it pretty much died with Bakunin more than a century ago.
    • Activism isn't an ideology.
    • Syndicalism has many variants and really isn't an ideology by itself. For example, there are National Syndicalists who are basically Fascist and belong at the top, rather than the bottom. If they meant Anarcho-Syndicalism, then it belongs further to the left,
    • Mutualism belongs on the left. Right-Libertarians wouldn't like an ideology that gets rid of rent and interest,
    • National Socialism is Economically Corporatist and Keynesian. I should be In the top middle.
    • Totalitarianism, Nationalism and Authoritarianism aren't ideologies, just parts of one.
    • Fascism belongs closer to the top middle as well.
    • Statism isn't an ideology, nor is Fundamentalism. Seems to be a recurring theme.
    • Progressivism belongs on the left
    • Anarchism is the entire bottom of the graph, not a distinct ideology separate from other kinds of Anarchism. It's also a left-wing ideology (except for ancaps).
    • Drawing a distinction between Libertarianism and Libertarian Capitalism is redundant.
    • Communism doesn't belong in the top-left corner. Hell, it really doesn't belong on the chart in general. It's a goal, not an ideology.
    • Ultra-Anarchism plain doesn't exist.

    Whoever made this test is a politically illiterate plagiarist and should be deeply ashamed of him/herself.

  • Every political group steal the idea of others/say the contrary to the one actually at power even if they think the same; talking about groups in politics is nothing more than a lie to categorize people's view on how the country must be handled.
