Don't lecture me, buddy. I have read them. The first person on your list is the monster Rousseau, the most evil thinker of all time - Marx not excluded. I find it difficult to understand how anyone who posts on a conservative forum could cite him as as reference.
The rest of these people argue for limited government. Might make sense. The problem with limited government is that it turns, sooner or later, into unlimited government. And unlimited disorder.
You totally avoided talking to my example, BTW.
Your astonishing claim that that view of government is "bizarre" leads me to doubt very seriously if you've read any of them, frankly, and simply claiming to do so doesn't cut much ice in this forum. Your emotional reaction to Rousseau is a case in point - I quoted him as one end of a spectrum including such luminaries as Locke and Burke - all of them agree on the point, as you would be aware if you really had read them (as, for that matter, does Karl Marx, and whether you think him "evil" is irrelevant - he, too, was a great and significant political thinker).
I am not your "buddy," and believe me, IMHO you could stand a lecture or two.
