Yes and no.

While the Horseshoe Theory has some merits (e.g., both left and right extremes may favor justified coercion, have the we-vs-them mentality, etc), it is grossly oversimplified. Still, a very simple (yet two-dimensional) model of Political Compass is much better.

The fun quirk is that there are similarities, and this model draws comparison front and center. There are multiple useful models for evaluating politics, though.
