I do think the addition of the vertical scale is necessary as the 'left-right' scale if far too simplistic and inaccurate.
But I think 'libertarian' should be 'anarchy'. That way you're comparing a central government with limited freedom with no government at all.
Libertarianism is also a loaded term because it's been around for a longer time and it can be left-wing.
I also don't like the inclusion of Communism and Capitalism. It should just be 'left' and 'right' politics. Communism is by definition a stateless society so it's also positioned incorrectly.

Some self-identified Anarchists believe that yea -- but most people see that private property automatically breads inequality of social relations. Most Anarchists don't want power relationships. Then there are those anarchists like Chomsky that argue only unjustified power relationships need to be eliminated (not professors like him, for example). Either way -- most anarchists are either better described as libertarian or don't believe in private property as a right (only an interest).
But if some right leaning people want to call themselves anarchists what am I supposed to say? Your wrong? I guess they are wrong by our modern institutional understanding.
Communism is extreme redistribution and extreme authoritarianism. At least in the real world. You are referring to the utopian communism of Marx that never existed in reality -- where the state withers away.
