Measured on a different axis.
You can have authoritarian left Stalin’s Russia) and authoritarian right (Nazi Germany). You can have liberal (i.e. non-authoritarian) left and right too.
It’s clichéd, but the political compass explains the concept, but it’s still only one extra dimension. It’s still far better than just left Vs right.

Also that. But I'd say that wewbull's point stands that there are more and less authoritarian flavours of that too
