[P2P-F] Libertarians

[Michel Bauwens]

I think that this is the heart of the matter and an obvious difference
between 'left' and 'right' approaches'

it's really about how far you extend the circle of care .. for right-minded
people it's nearly always about 'just for us' and they can have deep
communautarian feelings (except probably for committed anarcho-capitalists
who only believe in individual contracting and full commodification of all
things), by contrast the left wants to extend it. ron paul finds it
acceptable to refuse entry to black people on the basis of property rights,
something no person on the left could tolerate ... natalie explicetely
rejects the quest for equality even thought the revolt against inequality is
at the heart of this movement .. but we can find commonality around freedom
..

though of course, freedom without equality is a chimera, as you need a gun
to protect you from your neighbour ...

and the greatest the differential, the greater number of guns needed (now
nearly a quarter of the workforce ?)
