If the prequels and ROTJ had never happened I might be convinced to agree.
But really Palpatine is right about the Jedi, they are almost exactly the same.
They both use deception, violence and slavery to further their aims.
The Jedi code is followed dogamatically and is morally dubious to say the least (child military indoctrination, cultish family disconnection etc).
We hold a lot on trust with the Jedi.
Darth Sidious/Palpatine seizes ultimate power, promising to return it when democracy is safe (Mace Windu and Yoda contemplate the same action) we know that Palpatine never intends to hand over power but if Mace had been successful do we know for sure that the Jedi would be any different?
This makes for entertaining reading :
