[TAdams8591]

"One of my earliest political thoughts was that these communists who demamded power and obedience were more like throwbacks to the ancient monarchs than they were anything new or revolutionary."

I had that same thought when I first learned about communism as well.

There really is only two kinds of government: a large, powerful, intrusive government or a small, free, unintrusive government.

[Wilhelm Tell]

I was just thinking about George Washington, how he was practically offered the role as king for life but he turned the offer down on republican principles. When the monarchs and tyrants around the world heard about this, they were astonished and some trembled, for turning down the opportunity to be king was itself a radical, revolutionary act. Contrast that with our ignorant fools who prattle on about how communism will someday work once they finally get the “right” person to be dictator.
