The chart references the traditional right wing perspective on the role government should play in socirty.
Obviously, in regards to certain issues (in recent decades, like abortion and gay rights, but even as far back as the 1950s, with the addition of "under God" to the Pledge and such)--the Republican party has broken with the "no interference in the social order" principle.
The left on the other hand, traditionally, generally speaking, encourages more engagement in direct action in shaping the social order.
The chart is talking in pretty broad, sweeping generalizations--which we can nitpick in detail, but it does still give a pretty good basic overview.
