“[I]t is ambition enough to be employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little,
and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge.” —John Locke, 1689

“[P]hilosophy can no more show a man what he should attach importance to
than geometry can show a man where he should stand.” —Peter Winch, 1968

Socialism

This man wants the Left to embrace socialism. In other words, he wants the Left to be even more powerless than it is. Don't you love it?

When the writer says, "...invoking the idea that we all belong to a community,..." he actually means 'owned by a community'.

Perhaps he took to heart your post about 'conservatives, reformists, and radicals'.

Why can't we be more like Venezuela?

So IF our fate should be settled with a debate between socialism and capitalism, who the hell is left to take the latter's side??? Exactly how many votes would a capitalist crusader GET in this country today? We decry the symbolism of "socialism" all the while embracing most of its tenets. When the rubber meets the road most of us want the Mother Tit there to succor.

Will,

A few - and I have no idea the number - don't want anything to do with the nanny state.
