That is the grossest mischaracterisation I've seen for some time. It fits Marx's characterisation of religion (and economic theory): ours is god-given (or natural), theirs is man-made. We the lefties are for all the good things, they the rightwingers are fore all the bad thing .... gimme a break. Where did you see any self-respecting rightist openly defending authoritarianism?
The righwingers are also defining themselves as a party of freedom and equality - except that they define freedom as economic pursuit free of social intervention and equality as the ability to make a judgment on one's own - precisely the same kinds of thing on which the anti-treatment crowd base their claims. The left defines freedom and equality differently, not as freedom from intervention, but as freedom to develop ones full human potential - which can be guaranteed only collectively and equality as as equitabele distribution of all social resources. In a word, the difference between left and right is not that between freedom lovers and freedom haters, but between socialists and individualists - and that goes to the quintessence of the debate on the "rights" of people with mental disorders.
