The political principle where whether you go far left or far right, if you go too far in either direction, like Pac-Man, you will end up on the other side which is always a dictatorship.
Hitler was a socialist but moved so far left on government control that, because of the Pac-Man Principle, he came out on the right as a fascist and wound up ultimately as a dictator.
