How did the political compass look pre-French Revolution (1800)?

Basically the same, but switch out
>Authoritarian with monarchist
>Libertarian with anarchist
>left with heretical
>right with fundamentalist

>>2723555
Whole left-right concept didn't exist until Post-French Revolution.

That said, it would probably fit >>2723607 's description

Sedentary vs nomads in one axis. Emperors vs no authority in another.

Nowadays the terms "left" and "right" typically are used to describe stances on economic issues, with the "left-wing" favoring a more regulated economy with a safety net of social programs underneath, and the "right wing" favoring a less regulated economy with lower taxes. Back then, the term "right-wing" meant that you were in favor of more traditional forms of governance, such as a monarchy or aristocracy, whereas being "left-wing" meant that you were in favor of more modern forms of government, such as a republic or democracy.

That is true for the US, but the rest of the world is not retarded.
