I couldn't agree more, Stephen. Great post. The most common forms of left and right really are different forms of the same phenomenon. Statism, authority (whether of the state or of God or of science or of the market), thinking in terms of enemies and supporters. The difference is merely in relatively superficial political or religious issues. Opress the rich or opress the poor? Believe in God or in the Great Law of the universe? Belief in "free" markets or believe in a "social" state? Belief in forcing people to be "social" or belief in forcing people to adhere to societal norms?
(Obviously there are also people that consider themselves left or right to whom not all of that or nothing applies to. I am just referring to the majority.) benjayk -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Hating-the-rich-tp34372531p34384484.html Sent from the Everything List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
