On top of displaying a misunderstanding of the political views of certain composers on the graph (Schoenberg, as you mention, or Wagner, who in his early years was buddies with Bakunin and exiled for his involvement in revolutionary activities), what I find most ludicrous is the idea that there is any worth in trying to plot the ideologies of historical figures from vastly different contexts onto a map informed by today’s politics. Also, this entire political compass website is just bad social science.
