Also, I suspect your parents were somewhat unusually decent people - you write like you have good character.<br /> I would take issue with your characterization of the Left in the above post, though it is broadly true for mainstream progressives. I could probably be labeled a "radical left libertarian"; I fit "radical left" because I want a radically more egalitarian society, "libertarian" because I do NOT see more government as the best way to do this. I'm in favor of enabling/promoting worker-owned/self-managed enterprises, community development credit unions, and permanently affordable home ownership. You may be interested in my forthcoming book. Trying to convince the wealthy (as per your previous post) is mostly a waste of time, though any capitalists willing to co-exist with free working people should be left alone. The deep pathology of capitalism is INHERENT in it and incurable. Capitalism, however, should NOT be confused with free enterprise, as the term "free enterprise" says nothing about the class-nature of the enterprises in question.<br /> John Burnett<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
