So are you saying Xi Jinping is the Classical Liberal and Bernie Sanders is the Comunitarian? Or are you saying it's the other way around?

(For clarity: I didn't "flip" them, I'm saying that they are both Communitarian and neither is a Classical Liberal.)

Correct, which is why your question didn't make sense earlier.

Typically, one would refer to the political compass as a good starting reference. It has two axes, left/right and authoritarian/libertarian. Communism is authoritarian left. DSA is more left, with some libertarian and some authoritarian. It's more regions than binary flags.
