As a matter of fact I'd place them on pretty equal levels of "not a good thingness." Sorry. I didn't really mean to imply that you did. I was trying to create that sense of often parallel, extreme ideologies that are, as you say, "not a good thingness" Extreme ideologies...like liberty? I mean the real thing, not the current Republicrat collectivism/statism thing. |

I mean the real thing, not the current Republicrat collectivism/statism thing. I don't think I suggested liberty was an extreme ideology. Erosion of our liberties is to what I refer and republicrat, fascism, statism are not preferable either. -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200706/1 |

Side note: I believe liberty _is_ considered by many people to be an "extreme" ideology. Ask a crowd (say the readers of this newsgroup) to vote on whether they consider the following political ideologies to be extreme, though both are presumably founded on maximizing liberty: Libertarianism Anarchism and I suspect a majority would label both as being "extreme." Giving up liberties in exchange for something else is considered a non-extreme position, if not almost a law of nature. (I guess I'm an extremist!) |

Libertarianism
Anarchism and I suspect a majority would label both as being "extreme." Giving up liberties in exchange for something else is considered a non-extreme position, if not almost a law of nature. It's a question of degree. Neither liberty nor government is extreme. However, anarchy (no government, total liberty) and totalitarianism (total government, no liberty) are extreme. It's a question of perspective. If one believes that we are already too far in one direction, the belief that going further in that direction is extremist. Jose -- There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that just want to know what button to push, and those that want to know what happens when they push the button. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
