The compass was basically designed with the intention of saying "Libertarians good, everyone else bad!"

Because the opposite of Libertarian on the scale was Authoritarian, and before we had to remind people that that was indeed a bad thing to be, the idea was to try and convince people that anything that isn't a libertarian, by extension, anyone who isn't part of the libertarian party of the US, must be some kind of authoritarian.
