Christine: You wrote: "To say that liberals are warmed over Trotskyites is really unfair to liberals. There is a huge difference between liberals and even socialists, who are much less malevolent than Communists. But really, these systems went bankrupt based on a combination of bad leadership and impracticality of belief systems. The original goals were to do good for mankind." Those systems were bankrupt from the day they were envisioned -- they are morally and philosophically bankrupt. Their original goals were and are to seek power for a few at the expense of liberty for the many. How can you think a political system is good if it seeks to punish the productive and reward the unproductive? Please tell me how you think that is good, or even wise? FT
