@qwertypoiu4321 @MenOfLetters made an in-depht response to you. There is simply nothing to say to it. You are infected with the know-the-enemy attitude. It is related to what George Orwell called nationalism. I think terms like left & right are superficial. I even think just like George Orwell that even fascism has its good points. But unlike religious nationalism, I think one should take a pragmatic approach, i.e. admitting fallibility in any idea.

@qwertypoiu4321 You are uninformed. State socialism is effectively an oxymoron. Even if socialism is not possible, it could never be state socialism. How can something be owned by a boss/dictator/state and at the same time be publicly owned? Socialism is an idea for full democracy, inherited from classical liberalism. In a full democracy noone is represented in any way. The people are the government. Karl Popper suggested we should use the scientific method to get there.

Can anyone think of a single greater intellectual or thinker in our whole country? I can't..

@qwertypoiu4321 Voluntary and consensual are not the same thing. If there is no consensus that you should have exclusive use of that tree, but you don't volunteer to share it, would you coerce us not to take the fruit? Would you chase someone off 'your' property? In a very real sense, property rights are a way of using force (in ths case, legal sanctions and the police force, at a minimum) to stop anyone else from using something. Yet what is the basis for it except "finders keepers"?

@SaturnsCrown I have to agree, it had the same effect on me too..

Actualy Marxs' later works were labeled Libertarian Marxist

Amazing piece. It's too bad we don't give enough attention to history.

My favorite Chomsky lecture by far. . . the introduction just blew me away the first time I heard it.
