It's based on a real political scientist and real socioeconomic/political research.Lots of gibberish words but you have "liberty" and and "hive mind" in the same quadrant so...
Pay no attention. Costello clearly set up his "on line" survey which is not scientific to yield the results he wanted.When I absorb information, I kinda get niggly feelings inside. I like psychology and get quite in-depth from the normal path when I'm bugged.
One such thing was the orientation of the left. So I did a little researching -
Study: Left-wing authoritarians share key psychological traits with far right
People with extreme political views that favor authoritarianism—whether they are on the far left or the far right—have surprisingly similar behaviors and psychological characteristics, a new study finds.phys.org
Now, I always thought Republicans were not Far Right, but Democrats kinda ring alarm bells.
Your thoughts on the link?

F-Scale Test
The F-Scale Test was designed to measure authoritarian and fascist tendencies in the general population.www.idrlabs.com
That isn't that part I linked. . . Real political scientists? Regard it as major WOO.
"The horseshoe theory does not enjoy wide support within academic circles; peer-reviewed research by political scientists on the subject is scarce, and existing studies and comprehensive reviews have often contradicted its central premises, or found only limited support for the theory under certain conditions.[6][8]"

funny how even a guy as far back as Aristotle found oligarchies a deviant form of statehood.Of course they didn't seek that, but they recognized the truth of what Aristotle wrote about.
Corruption in either direction, leads to extremes.
You can be sure, they were all familiar with their ancient Greek.

As for the for 'The Left', they're still babbling old Cold War rhetoric put out by the Soviets, and 'The Right' is still babbling 19th Century Gilded Age social darwinism bullshit put out by J. P. Morgan and others hired stable of hack writers and academics.
Anarchists vote for big government?I'm an anarchist, and farther left than the communists. I can see it being far right, it simply means no leaders, on any level. Ever.
Obviously not. If you favor big government, you are a leftist.They absolutely do
Josiah Warren. The first labor for labor storeReally, he is not too far off the mark.
Lysander Spooner is generally regarded as far right, and he published in what is regarded as America's first Anarchist periodical. . . started by Benjamin Tucker.
He was friends, I believe, with Josiah Warren. Both were at the first Internationale. I have no proof they traveled there together, but I suspect that they did.
"I was the first American—I may say the first Anglo-Saxon—to start an avowedly Anarchistic newspaper printed in the English language. I am still the editor, publisher and proprietor of that paper. It is everywhere regarded as the pioneer and principal organ of modem individualist Anarchism. I either am, or have been, the publisher of the chief Anarchistic works in the English language. I am the author of the most widely-accepted English text-book of Anarchism. I have enjoyed the friendship, had the benefit of instruction, and have carefully studied the works, of those Americans from whom the Anarchists have largely derived their beliefs—Josiah Warren, Stephen Pearl Andrews, Lysander Spooner, and Colonel William B. Greene. I am the translator into English of some of the principal works of P.J. Proudhon, who was the first writer in any language to declare himself an Anarchist. I am acquainted, perhaps better than any other man, with the English-speaking Anarchists of the United States. . . "

They arent right. They are left.Just look around this forum and tell me I am wrong. Most of those that are on what constitute the political right in our country are all for strong central government lead by an authoritarian. They are no less so than the folks that make up the political left, the only differences between them is in what they think the Govt should have control over.
They arent right. They are left.
MAGA is left. Conservatism is dead.
Anarchists don't believe in closed borders or any bordersFar right people dont favor authoritarianism. Far left is totalitarianism. Far right is anarchy.
Im one of the farthest right people on this board and you never see me supporting authoritarianism or govt intervention.
When you bend to the will of leftists, you become a leftist.Perhaps based upon the classical view you are correct, but it is really irrelevant as they are what constitutes the right in our country, and around the world.
