First, it is going to be necessary to "hand-cuff" the government.
Take a good look at those who control our two political parties. You will find that most hide behind two facades, The first facade has some proclaiming they are Republican others Democrat. Peal away the first facade to find a second facade where all of them claim to be progressives. Behind that second facade you find their core political philosophy, communist/socialist.
Our two party system is really one party where they work hand in hand to destroy this nation as a bastion of freedom with torch held high where it can be seen world wide by those who yearn for those same freedoms.
The world wide communist/socialist utopia can not be attained as long as we exist.
“The left is inclined to think that if we let the economic sphere be free, the world will collapse, which advances some theory of the disaster that would befall us all without government control. The right is similarly convinced that the state is necessary lest the world collapse into violent, warring, culture-destroying gangs.”
I don’t think that captures the difference between the left & the right. In my experience, the left believes businessman are evil because they’re only after profits. They are not worried about gov’t, because gov’t doesn’t make a profit - they are only their to ‘help’.
Those on the right (particularly religious right) realize that human beings are ‘fallen’ or at least not uniformly good, so gov’t is there to constrain those that will do harm.
Lefties will never understand the real issue is human beings. They trust human beings in gov’t, but not business. I have friends (some former now) who just could not get that point.
Indeed.
