Quote:My disagreeing with you is not hypocrisy it's me disagreeing with you. Different levels of authority play different roles.

 

You're not disagreeing with me, you're disagreeing with simple logic. The two are completely different in that I'm not asserting a position, I'm stating logical truth of the world around us.

 

My position would be that central authority and socialism are favorable to the progress of humankind. Logic says that on the spectrum of possibilities for societal structure there is no such thing as libertarianism except at the limit of the spectrum occupied by anarchy. Everything between full on democratic socialism and the limit as the spectrum moves to anarchy are actually socialism by degree.

 

So, either you can accept the logical position that you are a confused socialist, or you can close your eyes and cover your ears while yelling, "la la la la, I can't hear you, la la la la," but nothing about the reality of the matter changes from that, only your desire to reinforce your incorrect assumptions about yourself and the way the world works can change.
