The point you raise about the libertarian versus the authoritarian, Ibbie, is why I went libertarian. No masquerades -- ever. What you're seeing, if you see clearly, is what you're getting.

Now a good many of you aren't seeing very clearly yet. (How many of you know who you are is yet another thread's worth.) Is there hope? I think so, but the evidence supporting it may be a little thin.

The fascists and the communists weren't and aren't antitheses: they are competitors for the totalitarianism market. If we keep that population small, these large-P Parties can't make a living.

LJ, while Merc can defend himself, I for one am nowise convinced he's an asshole. I am persuaded, however, that you have a giant mad on about him. So he rubs you personally the wrong way. Is this important in the larger scheme of things? Sometimes what is needed is simply to back off for a while.
