[I totally agree, but they could have added anarchy on the far far right too... real anarchy not that fake radical left kind]

Except there is decentralist and centralist anarchy. I’m too sleepy to explain.

Let me expound on your point, if I may...

The left side of the spectrum involves concentrating the power and decision making locus into the hands of fewer and fewer people. In order to make the populace supplant their goals and decisions with the goals and decisions of these few, force must be used.

The right side of the spectrum, including the true liberals (”conservative” really is meaningless), decentralizes and dilutes the decision making locus to the individual, culminating in anarchy where the individual does whatever he wishes to do without regard to others.
