Ways to map the political landscape haven't been invented yet. There's no left or right, authoritarian or libertarian.

So how do you see things politically, given these new developments?

Perhaps you misunderstood me. Politics as we know it exist, there just isn't a way to map how one person or action is to another person or action.

Probably wouldn't affect me. I don't really classify myself at all.

I don't, much, except for the purposes of satire or parody.

I would like to see the different factions based on how they see the individual in the society: libertarians would be "Subsistenzisten", communists collectivists...

Use of a non-euclidean version of the political compass would make things interesting.

I would see things exactly the same way, but there would be a different political compass.
Changing basis doesn't change the algebraic structure.

I would use a color coding system and sticky notes.
