Their definition of left vs right, 30 seconds into the video.

He's not talking about left and right as found in American politics, he's taking about the types of governments that we witnessed at work in the world and the fact that the biggies have the same goal of total power.
What's wrong with the definition given?

No you didn't answer it at all. What piece of information do you not agree with? What specifically is incorrectly explained? How could it be done better. Anyone can call something crap, it takes a little more to actually suggest you have a valid argument.

Yes, I answered it. The definition of the right vs left dichotomy given is a complete fabrication which has absolutely no basis in political theory or even dictionary definitions. It is meaningless Rush Limbaugh garbage, and can only be taken seriously by people who think Ann Coulter is highbrow reading.

Since the definition is the basis upon which the rest of the video is bases, the rest of the video is gibberish as well.

QED.
