I don't know jack shit about political theory but I've consumed a lot of political compass memes so clearly this makes me an expert on the subject.

FOOTNOTES:
If you disagree with where I put a character on the chart, keep in mind that I'm going off of the political compass' diagram of who's where, which you can find here https://www.politicalcompass.org/anal...
Fascism is a radical right wing ideology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
I've changed "authoritarian" to "totalitarian" and "libertarian" to "anarchist" to demonstrate extremes.
The top of the political compass represents state control. The bottom represents a lack of state control (anarchism). The left and right of the compass represent both the economic and cultural left and right respectively. The left tends towards anti-capitalism and equality (equal distribution of wealth / power) and the right towards pro-capitalism and hierarchy (unequal distribution of wealth / power) [0].
I’m the voice of the people
If the people are white [1]
Oh she’s only 14? Guess it is pedophilia [2]
I realize the last five times we tried this we all starved to death [3]
There you again saying I see race
How can you say that shit with a straight face?
The only color I see’s green
Greed is the only way to true equality [5]
🍩 [6]
I'm not "engaging in discourse" with these people. [7]
Get outta here you neoliberal scum! [8]
[0] All of this is obviously massively over-simplified. Don't take it too seriously.
[1] Authoritarian Right is not necessarily nazism or white fascism.
[2] Without a state and with capitalism running the world you could in theory buy and sell and people if there was a market for it. The bottom right isn't necessarily just anarcho-capitalists (there's anarcho-tribalists too but that's more cultural right than economic right and doesn't fit as cleanly on a 2d compass tune in next week for my 3d political chart rap (jk)). You're not likely to actually see an ancap that unironically wants kids getting sold.
[3] Totalitarian Left is not necessarily just communism (and definitely not just Russian communism) but it's the most famous example.
[5] There is nothing in anarcho-capitalist philosophy that philosophically necessitates racism (though nothing that excludes it either). A lot of them happen to be racist but uh it's all just a coincidence I swear.
[6] Horseshoe theory asserts that the far left and far right start to resemble each other the farther left or right you go—essentially, both extremes are bad. The theory was developed by some idiot who thought you could map the complexities of political ideology onto a linear Left-Right spectrum. Obviously the only CORRECT way is to map it onto a 2d spectrum. Donut theory asserts the same thing, but in 2 dimensions. Everything outside the hole of the donut is equally bad.
[7] The farther left you go the less likely you're going to find someone willing to talk to you and explain their reasoning for why they believe what they believe in a way that's palatable for a moderate. They left is skeptical of free speech because of how power dynamics are at play.
This has given antifa (typically anarcho-communists because they are the most opposed to nazis) a bad name for shutting down speech—after all, the authoritarian right would never shut down *their* speech (they would put them all to death, sure, but their free speech would be fine.) Antifa aren't necessarily libertarian left (shutting down speech / a fight for 50/50 equality is more totalitarian left), but again, oversimplifying kind of comes with the territory of this format.
[9] Neoliberalism tends to perpetuate capitalism which leftists argue is destroying the planet and is the root cause of all inequality; centrists tend to be pretty neoliberal (hence why you'll hear people call centrists liberals (though this is also a regional thing)). If there's anything political extremes have in common, it's disdain for normies.
