Ah, so you reject conventional political science, too? Cool.
It’s just straightforward definitions & logic: the diagram is there for the slow.
Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

the political compass is not “political science”, you debate nerd. and even if it was, I’d say it’s pretty good odds you’re not a political science major, and you’re just badly regurgitating liberal nonsense you read on the substack for some aide to Nacy Pelosi. what you’ve posted so far is contemptible in how easily it’s debunked even by looking at what the partisan corporate US media shows you, let alone any third party observer to the absolute human rights atrocities the US has been involved in.
