for the most part, yes.  perhaps a few minor disagreements.

you're all forgetting, the center on the chart isn't the American center, it's the global center

So every single government in the EU is right of center, and the vast majority are more authoritarian than average? Right...

of course they are.  they all have market economies.

mixed economies are inherently right-wing, yes.  the world has moved to the right over the pass hundred years.  the paradigm doesn't shift through time, only the components do.

and what Morden said is pretty much correct too.

So, then, it does not reflect the global center, but rather the left-wing idealist's idea of what the global center looked like a hundred years ago. (And if you think the world economy is to the right of where it was in the Gilded Age, I have nothing else to say.)
