Leftism and the future
Posted by Jon Henke
Just go read this right now. Seriously.
Read it. Twice. Then read it again, if necessary. Brief excerpt...
I am increasingly concerned that we are on the verge of sacrificing our liberty on the altar of leftist populism. Indeed, to a great extent, we have already done so, and have for the past thirty years, been edging closer to a totalitarian society.
Now, many of you will be immediately inclined to dismiss this as shrill complaining, or some far right-wing over-reaction. I am not, however, a right-winger, except perhaps as far as national defense issues go. Otherwise, I am strictly libertarian, and support a variety of non-right-wing things, like legalizing drugs, prostitution, and gambling, supporting gay marriage, and supporting a woman's choice to have an abortion, at least in the first trimester. But, if I'm not precisely a man of the Right, I am certainly not a man of the Left. The rest is very important.
