re: #204 Bubbaman

I should add that there’s a third way between the Marxists and Libertarians and that used to be called America.

I’m sorry, but that’s balderdash. America in the 1780s took the measure of the Marxists of their day - the Jacobins in France - and drew up a Constitution expressly designed to stop anything like Marxism from taking hold here. As for the libertarians, granted this Constitution wasn’t as libertarian as the Articles of Confederation, but the framers still attempted to give a latitude for human freedom as wide as possible given the constraints of (for instance) the South.
