We can at least start by adding one dimension, that will make the left vs right model a bit less wrong :
"That is because the dominant strain of American liberalism is not economic socialism but political authoritarianism."
In a way similar to what happened to "conservatives" some time ago, it seems that you shouldn't name "liberals" without the quotes any more. As a reminder, liberalism is supposed to be *the opposite* of authoritarianism !
Or maybe the term "libertarianism" (that this compass uses to mean the opposite of authoritarianism, rather than of leftism) is indeed better, but right-wingers have kind of stolen that one too.
