He's pointing out what you want to call "left" and "right" have the same result of total government control. Making a new chart from total control on one side and no government control makes more sense to me. He could have reversed it and put total control on the right side, and still make his point, but you seem to be so hung up on the "left" & "right" labels you're missing his point.

Anyway, it was not primary support for his explanation(not argument) of the difference between a Democracy and a Republic. They would fall in between the extremes no matter what you put on the "right/left"
