The political compass is what politics looks like from a liberal perspective. It has no actual bearing on the reality of political thought, and has been disastrous for those trying to understand politics for the first time.
Despite its flaws (which are not what you've described), its 2 dimensions is still a vast improvement over the overly conflationary reductivism of linear depictions, or worse 1-bit binary.
The flaws are definitely in line with what I described, and more. Trying to describe left and right as a spectrun is already horribly reductive, trying to pretend "authoritarian" and "libertarian" is a spectrum is even worse. ideologies can be generally described as right or left depending on if they uphold capitalism or socialism, beyond that they are best compared by their actual stances and not a farcical grid.

Sounds like naive realism.
Sounds like I know what I meant, and you saying "you're wrong" has done nothing to challenge that.
Political compass lol
I support Labour Colonies.
That makes me LibLeft 
As a leftist I do not like guns. I guess that is the lie.
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered. Any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
To me leftists are revolutionary. I'm curious to know how you're going to be part of a revolution without an actual threat to power.
I’m a leftist who doesn’t much care for guns but I’ll use one if I fucking have to.
There are reformist and pacifist leftists too (like democratic socialists, syndicalists, anarcho-pacifists), not that I agree with any of them completely.
Leftism at its simplest definition is just opposing social hierarchy (which right wing ideologies like capitalism, fascism, and monarchism promote) in favor of socialism (which can also include communism, anarchism, and syndicalism).
It's because leftism is so broad with differing methods that many leftists hate each other. If you narrow down the definition of leftist to only your own political beliefs, then there wouldn't be much leftists to hate.
Reformism is liberal, you won't be able to reform capitalists within the system they created and control.
Liberal meme detected 
Why tell things apart that are the same thing?
The meme suggest they are not, and to be fair they do have some differing points. But really only libs think it's some very important point to not lump conservatists with them for their support of capitalism, which is also the moment where socialists do usually lump them.
I read it as “we are aware that these two ideologies are different and frankly they are both such absolute garbage that we don’t really care to distinguish them all that much.”
It’s to show that there is literacy and understanding of nuance there, but that at the end of the day it’s more of a “fun fact” when the centrists keep supporting the conservatives as their general default. Even when Liberals do nothing is about how that nothing is consistently helping the far-right get away with shit while aggressively discouraging progressive change.
Conservatives are nationalist morons who are trying to conserve and bring back a lot of the systems that let low-quality privileged people in their given society keep all the power. Liberals don’t have hating minorites as a policy goal but they also refuse to believe that doing nothing will not, in fact, make up for hundreds of years of systemic issues. Conservatives will try to fix capitalism by ethnic minorities and Liberals will try to fix by getting rid of rules which “might stifle economic expansion”. Neither of those ideologies are worth anything though they are different.
So leftist hate leftist? And they love guns?
Seems accurate to me.
I think the joke is all the inner fighting between different leftist ideas and sects.
the more you disagree the more it is apparent, I vote to delete this violent meme
