Republicans, in general, advocate both economic and social
interventions. Libertarians advocate neither. That seems to me to be a
rather greater difference then you would indicate above.
In a recent discussion with a very liberal friend of mine he asked me
for my definition of fascism. I replied that it was a system of
government which does not own the means of production (as in communism)
but controls these businesses and society in general through regulation.
He agreed with me on this. What is your definition of fascism?

Please define what you mean by social Darwinism. I have never heard a
libertarian say that they were a social Darwinist.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
