Collectivism as an economic phenomenon is the same whether the desired outcome is a worker's paradise or an aryan paradise. Hayek understood this at least as well as Rand, hence Road to Serfdom. Posted February 25, 2006 1:29 PM

As far as any sense of a social compact or concern about the welfare of your fellow man they sound like a couple of libertarians to me. Posted February 25, 2006 3:07 PM

Freedom is slavery, eh spencer? Posted February 25, 2006 10:52 PM

I was so worried that the nonlibertarians of the world have thoughtfully considered the libertarian idea and rejected it. The comment comparing Lenin and Goebbels to libertarians brings a smile to my face, as it illustrates the fact that so many nonlibertarians haven't even figured out what the libertarian position is. Hint: Libertarians oppose taking money from some fellow man to improve the welfare of some other fellow man. This is a position on theft, not a position on whether or not people should be concerned with the welfare of others. There is no libertarian position about how one should regard the welfare of his fellows. Posted February 26, 2006 4:08 AM

So Spencer, in your estimation violence equals compasion? If a gun is not forced to the side of your head threatening imprisonment then it is impossible for people to act compasionately? That is the essence of a social compact? I prefer compasion predicated upon a relationship of voluntary association. Posted February 26, 2006 11:28 PM

On the other hand, Bryan, I seem to remember that your own view on "feeding the hungry" is pretty entertaining as well isn't it? I seem to remember a post on "bleeding heart libertarians" that might provide a suitable quote. Posted February 27, 2006 4:25 AM

Provide it, dsquared, if you'd be so kind. I can't seem to find it myself. Posted February 27, 2006 1:58 PM

Can I get the rest of that Lenin quote for context? Call me paranoid, but I don't trust anything with an elipsis. Posted February 27, 2006 8:29 PM
