Your newbie bias is right there in you tag line. I note you didn't deny anything I wrote. BTW, I said nothing about communists. You may want to use a dictionary.

Your newbie bias is right there in you tag line.

So one has to be a "newbie" to be opposed to libertarianism? What sort of idiotic argument is that?

I note you didn't deny anything I wrote.

"As for the rest of what you wrote, it's just bilious grandstanding that has nothing to do with my original proposition. Merely a straw man argument" doesn't count as a denial of what you wrote? I think you need to start reading more closely....

Nope, I was merely responding to the implicit thrust of your argument, which had little to nothing to with communitarianism, per se, not even that provided by yourself in the definition above. Shoot, by the definition you provided, America's early Republican society would be communitarian, and the groups of people who opened up the west to settlement definitely would be, as would Locke, de Tocqueville, and Burke, depending on the particular definitions applied to the terms used.
