Do you agree with this assessment of Left and Right?

I was reading a book and found a very interesting stand about Left and Right. I wanted to see what you think of it. Below is a little graph that sums it up.

Total Amount of Government Power

I---------------I---------------I

100%.........50%............0%

Far...............................Far

Left............................Right

In essence, Left and Right is how much control the government has. Far Left is totilltarion such as Communism, Fascism, and Dictatorships, Far Right is anarchy. Obviously neither are favorable to the general public, so a balance is the policy. The issue is just what constitutes a good balance.

Agree or disagree, and why?

Update:

@Mark Why is Fascism a Far Right ideology? What is your basis of Left and Right?
