Your reasoning only shows that the US democracy is not in the middle between the 'extreme right' (Nazi Germany) and the 'extreme left' (Communism). This fact is true. The difference between the US and both totalitarian systems cited is on another coordinate than the divide between the two of them. Consider a pyramide, the peak being the US, one extreme end of the bottom being Nazi Germany, the other extreme end Russian Communism.
This little additional complexity allows to differentiate between the both totalitarian systems while still making sure of their fundamental difference to the US (and any state that would be called democratic).

To give more ideas, notice also #49267.

BTW it may be of interest that 'Weltanschauung' actually features a double-'u'.
