You must have an awful lot of books on Marx and Lenin.... I'm beginning to get suspicious of you....... I hope Poindexter doesn't find out......

You really are stuck, aren't you. The roots of modern liberalism go much farther back than Marx. You could go all the way back to Christian antiquity. But the more recent roots are found in Rousseau, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, the precursors of our own Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton. I could also say that the roots of all conflict in this world go back to the institution of property rights, which started way way back and have led us to competition, conflict, war and tyranny--to which Rousseau was the antidote. But I'm sure that's all too complicated for you. It's much more comforting to have a big easy target to hang all your gripes on, isn't it?
