The so-called "communal nature of man", much touted by communism, has been a dismal failure as a base for government..

LOL. Every functioning government in the history of mankind has recognized that man has obligations to his community, including our government, from its begining. Recognizing the importance of community does not make one a communist.

--- Most here actively oppose communitarian efforts to restrict individual freedoms under our republican form of government.

That's a downright lie. Freepers, like the vast majority of convservatives, believe it is perfectly legitimate for the government to outlaw prostitution, restrict access to pornography, and close to half support the drugwar.

You've shown yourself to be just another socialist troll, wrapping yourself in a conservative banner in order to bash libertarians, & disrupt FR.

Ah yes, anyone who's not a libertarian is a socialist, the ever present epithet libertarians love to throw at anyone who disagrees with them.

You have some maturing to do, I see. Most libertarians are as obcessed with their system and ideology as are the left. Libertarians are the right's equivalent to the Utopian Socialists.

Ignoring the communal nature of man is the fundamental error of libertarianism.

Attempting to say its an error of philosophy for libertarians to 'ignore' it is nonsense..

-- I'm surprised you've kept such a low profile to date.

Not at issue. I said:

Recognizing the importance of community does not make one a communist.

Again, not at issue. You're not very adept at logical argument, are you?

That's an idiotic denial of conservative principle.

Freepers, like the vast majority of convservatives, believe it is perfectly legitimate for the government to outlaw prostitution, restrict access to pornography, and close to half support the drugwar.

States can reasonably restrict/regulate most public activites. They have no power to outlaw non-violent consensual 'sinful activities'.

Bash away... You're only making your communitarian agenda more evident.
