Because it neither explains nor predicts political behaviors, making it useless as a political theory. The only people who spout it are indecisive fence-sitters, who gain a sense of superiority from the fact that they're "in the middle" and better than all those stupid extremists. Horseshoe fails to differentiate between authoritarian and totalitarian, makes no allowance for social policy, and ignores the fundamental assumptions that underlie the different ideologies. Your picture in particular is retarded because altruism and egoism isn't a good way to differentiate between the ideologies on the two branches.

Free democratic structures is better than authoritarian ideologies as it forces the people's treasure and their freedoms back to the citizenry. The more Authoritarian a civilization becomes, the more inherently corrupt and abusive it becomes to it's own people. It must be to pay the administrative class what it's worth. The less keys administrators plotting against the leader, the longer the reign. Kill your disloyal generals, tax collectors, and secret police to give their replacements a raise before the traitor beats you to it. The purges of the most talented individuals is reason enough why they fail. The authoritarian state needs constant internal and external enemies to keep the people accepting further abuses for the ruling parties remain in control.

The problem with Authoritarianism is that the power economy is geared towards soldiers, generals, secret police chiefs, spies, state ministries, and their army of police and petty bureaucratic agents issuing legal forms. Soviet Union made very few automobiles as they were pushing most of their production into weapons stockpiles that never fired a shot in anger for the motherland. Belarus is a poor corrupt shithole. Authoritarian nations are notoriously brutal impoverished shitholes fighting civil wars to control the raw resource exports. African Blood Diamonds are the prime example.

It hasn't predicted anything, as the theory was only created after NatSoc had fallen, giving the author the benefit of hindsight and post facto assertions. If the Reich and the USSR operated under radically opposed philosophies you might have a shadow of a point here, but they didn't. Hitler was very open in his disdain for capitalism and equally open about his appreciation and envy of Stalin's bureaucratic apparatus. The only reason we consider NatSoc to be far right at all is because of modern popular convention; the only thing right-wing about the NSDAP and /pol/acks today is their views on race, but in today's overton window that's more than enough to be called right-wing.
Furthermore, if the theory is supposed to be accurate at all, you'd expect it to be accurate at all levels of intensity, not just the two endpoints. Just look at the chart faggot OP posted. Are we really expected to believe that democratic socialists and monarchists are just two sides of the same coin? Do you seriously think AnComs and the LP are both just a couple steps away from liberty? Why is populist nationalism on the left side and not the right? The "theory" breaks down except for the singular example of NatSoc and the commies, which means it isn't a theory at all. At best it's a myopic case study; it fails to be even that when you factor in that its only because of contemporary sensibilities that we label the party full of vegan, anticapitalist treehuggers on the far right.

The tariff in the civil war halted the slave economy. The Republicans instated economic nationalism democratically and free statism democratically where your state's rights lolberg thinks owning people is freedom. Americans didn't want to pay the cost of their sins, and gladly gave up short term for a long term industrialization policy.

Most of the left isn't "against government" so much as they are against government that isn't controlled by them. There are a fair few anarchists on the left, yes. But even discounting our myriad differences in political goals, policy desires, and all that good stuff, I think there's one very crucial difference between ancaps and the other anarchists: we don't want to overthrow the government. We aren't revolutionaries, we're reformers, homesteaders, and secessionists. Whereas the other anarchists seek to wage war upon the state and violently act out on any and all of its institutions or upon any institution that represents order and tradition, we don't seek violence. Even as secessionists we only want to be left alone, and will only come to violence as a reaction to violence perpetrated by the state. By this simple and seemingly minor distinction, we are worlds apart from left-wing anarchists, and because of that I don't think it's accurate to say we're even "leftist to all governments."

As it's natural to have different opinions splinter into special interests, it's only reasonable to maintain a diversity of opinion confined to a low time preference center, lest ye be subjected to the inevitable cycles of collapse into the cycles of tyranny.

Given that Alexandr Dugan's 4th Political Theory is bipolar hybridization between far right opportunism and Marxist Leninism revival, horse shoe theory is a modest restraint for the founder of the National Bolshevik Party upon the fall of the Soviet Union.
Eurasianists will adopt traditional family values and gender abolition feminist cuckoldry concurrently. They will adopt strict Orthodox teachings while demand Satanist, mysticism, and occultism (devil majik) concurrently. They will embrace socialist economics and Fascist Keynesian statists. They are both the subverter, and the false savior.
The whole point of the extremists is to destabilize is to internally destablize the border states of the Europe and the United States to absorb passive vassal into the Russian Federation before they internally sort their affairs. They want to internally antagonize problems, and form the solution that just so happens to be Russia's solution. They are interested in finding traitors in the United States to purposefully breakdown political resolution through agitating street actions.
The only singular coherent goal of Eurasianism is to reinforce the authoritarian Russian regime, internally breakdown and subvert American and NATO rivals, and promote Finlandization of satellite states that would otherwise never willingly subject their interests towards Moscow.
No ideological consistency; for the WORKER, RACE, STATE, GENDER, RELIGION, THE POOR, bla bla bla bla bla. It's all an exploitation of weakness to pursue power. To remove the innumerable liberties away from the citizen to a foreign government. Specifically, an assault on the Anglo-American.
