I found it on Reddit. Here are my annotations what each edge means.
Hierarchy is top-down system where everyone is assigned a clear rank of authority. One's position in society and organization entirely depends on will of your superiors. One man on top can promote or demote anyone at his will, those under him can lose their position if they displease superiors but can remove those who are below them if subordinates displeased them.
Horizontality is when there are no ranks and everyone is equal, that is not above or below anyone. No superiors and no subordinates. People work or do not work together by mutual agreement and cooperation. No one can force someone else to do anything. Any positions of authority depend on popular approval and people's willingness to follow someone. Majority can empower anyone or disempower at any time.
See this CGPGray video for idea, Empire Ship is property/hierarchy and Pirate Ship horizontality/democracy.
Property is when people who own something have absolute control over their possession. The man who owns land, business or rental property can charge whatever rent he wants and impose on tenants' whatever rules he sees fit.
Democracy is when majority controls how land, businesses and property are used. There is no rent and rules are instead decided but majority vote. Management in businesses are also decided by majority vote of workers.
Command is where authorities, whether democratic or hierarchical, have ability to enforce its will on individual. With Hierarchy its simple but combined with democracy it like two wolfs voting to have one sheep for dinner.
Autonomy is when individuals are free to do whatever they please and no one can enforce any directives or rules on them.
Positions in the corners combine two connected elements. For example, Feudalism is a system where hierarchy is based on property ownership.
Positions away from edges show more nuanced options that combine elements of both but with stronger bias towards one of the options. Classical Conservatism is mostly hierarchical but not completely.
Social Liberalism is in the middle as that is closest to being in the middle ground on all these issues.
Positions close to edges show each system in its theoretical purity while positions away from edges are more of practically possible options that can actually exist IRL.
