"The problem is that left/right, liberal/conservative and libertarian/authoritarian are usually not the same thing." See the Pournelle Axes...

Hi neolib, it's nice to see you posting. Glad you are around. There was a very, very kind poster by the alias neocon who wrote highly intelligent, polite historical posts that were philosophical. Do any of you remember him - don't recall if he posted on the AMD thread? He passed away a few days ago. At first I confused him with you. You both write very nice posts and your aliases are similar. It's very sad when a poster dies - his posts were very thoughtful and intelligent. Very kind poster too. He appreciated everyone's points of views. Regards, Amy J

To the extent that this simple model is disruptive (and its better than the simple left/right model often used) I would see commies as what you called Q3 (Left Authoritarian). Of course once they are in power they, like just about everyone else with such levels of power, tried to preserve the current power structure, but other than in that sense I can't see how they are "right/conservative". But they were totalitarian and authoritarian more than they were either right or left. Tim
