"There Is No Vital Center

Fascinating piece. There is some with which to quarrel but I agree with the overall positioning of the piece. That is that there is no "centrist philosophy" per se, at least none available in this country at this moment that would serve as the basis for a political movement.

It's hard to make an argument, however, that it's about individualism; but it's certainly right on point to argue that it's a temperament rather than a political philosophy with a movement.

The biggest flaw is the assertion that the "left is "rooted" in Marxism." But that's an argument for another day.
