We may have to renew our dialogue about left vs. right and totalitarianism vs. libertarianism.

One thing I'd like to discuss is whether there is any rational basis for their complaints. I don't mean "root causes."

I believe man to be rational, so I wonder what is the rational basis for their beliefs.

Maybe if we understood that, we'd understand how to deal with them.

For example, at this far remove from the French Revolution, while I do not sanction the guillotine, I understand it. I do not sanction the methods used by Oliver Cromwell, but I understand them. I understand both the Reformation and the Counter-reformation.
