This is a great question for a capitalist, since they are very good at doing both of these things.
Anyways, point was that many of the questions assume the reader accepts capitalism as a legitimate system so you get a skewed result that isn't necessarily representative of the readers actual views.
"Protectionism is sometimes necessary in trade."
Horrible question. Who says I favor trade to begin with?
Also, the radical left isn't so streamlined as you think. Here is similar political compass made for the various parties and political views of the day during the Russian Revolution, but even if you are a conservative the questions still apply. I think most these are much better than the ones on the regular political compass even though it pertains to a specific time period, and that the result is more sincere in understanding ones political views:
