  1.  @cogen651  If you separate authoritarian and non-authoritarian from capitalism (right) and socialism/communism (left), and use a two axes model, it's better than a straight line. So, while Ayn Rand types might be more "liberal", in tolerance for different people and behaviour in society ... are less authoritarian ... they are still as far right as one can be. There's nothing to the right of Ayn Rand. There are multiple US politicians that espouse her writings. There are basically no US politicians left of Bernie, and he's only a centrist, pointing to centrist European countries to emulate. Zero politicians are calling for an end to capitalism, equal ownership of everything, and economic equality for all ... zero politicians that are as far left as possible. Most Democrat politicians are right of centre, and somewhat authoritarian. Republicans are even more right, and even more authoritarian. US politics ranges from far right to centre. Where does Peterson fall in that? While he may not be in the more authoritarian groups, he's still pretty far to the right.
