Communitarianism is high-tech Communism.

For some reason the word "communitarian" reminds me of the word "cult". Very few people know about this and the masses just go along to get along.

We are in the midst of a take over by the elite cult now. However, watching the funeral and past history of Washington DC this week, it made be think just how we have let such a small group of people run and ruin our world. The faces are just older now and for some reason not wiser.

I'm adding some links and quotes from stuff I researched a couple months ago.
• From Amitai Etzioni, founder of the Communitarian Network
"The last thing a communitarian calls for is to abolish any right, let alone privacy. But no right is absolute and all must be balanced against the common good."
"Balancing Individual Rights and the Common Good," by Amitai Etzioni, Tikkun, Vol.12, No.1, (January/February 1997), pp. 66-67.
• The website of Amitai Etzioni [www.amitaietzioni.org], "founding father and leading voice of contemporary communitarianism."

• The Communitarian Platform from Etzioni's website at George Washington University [www.gwu.edu].

• Worth a read:
