Conservativism and progressivism are on a right-left axis, while authoritarianism and anarchism are on an up-down axis.
Trying to put Auth/Anarch (method) on the same axis as Cons/Progs (ideology) isn't a useful activity.
And individualism VS collectivism is yet a THIRD axis.
You can be a collectivist conservative anarchist. You can be a individualist progressive authoritarian. And every combination in-between. The overlap of a collectivist prog anarchist and an individualist prog anarchist is going to be quite high, but they will still have very noted points of disagreement, as would any extreme edge of one of the axes even if it aligned with the other two.
Ideology and methods are inextricably linked, not separate. Ideology defines methods. The reddit political compass is meme-grade bullshit, much like horseshoe theory.
The only reason Horseshoe Theory is bullshit, is it assumes all political philosophy exists on a single axis, when the "Curl together" part of the horseshoe is almost always collectivist influences upon the Left-Right line (and the remaining time is authoritarian influences).
Which supports a 3 (minimum) axis political compass. If you think the compass is fundamentally impossible, "meme-tier bullshit", then you're likely trying to define the axes of the compass as something stupid like "good vs evil", and not proper labels. "Change for the sake of change vs Stability for the sake of stability", "More government power vs Less government power", "people as individuals vs people as classes".
