Myers believes the solution to the social problems he lays out in his book lies in what he calls “communitarianism.” It is a movement away from the “me thinking” of radical individualism and toward the “we thinking” of human communities (Myers, p. 11). According to Myers, signs of this “‘silent revolution’ -- a renewal of civic life -- are springing up” “like crocuses blooming at winter’s end” (p. 11). Communitarianism “offers a ‘third way’ -- an alternative to the individual civil libertarianism of the left and the economic libertarianism of the right” (Myers, p. 11). It wants a balance between “life, liberty, and the pursuit of property” and the “general welfare” of our Constitution (Myers, p. 223).

Why don't these people have the stones to admit that what they want is communism?
