Instead of encouraging free and open debate, collectivists strive to discredit and intimidate opponents. They engage in character assassination. (I should know, as the almost daily target of their attacks.) This is the approach that Arthur Schopenhauer described in the 19th century, that Saul Alinsky famously advocated in the 20th, and that so many despots have infamously practiced. Such tactics are the antithesis of what is required for a free society—and a telltale sign that the collectivists do not have good answers


No wonder liberals hate him so much.
Free society vs authoritarian control(Obamunism)

?

Schopenhauer was not a "collectivist," which is a dubious concept anyway.

On the other hand, the oldest story in politics is oligarchs buying friends and using ideology to advance their material interests.

Instead of fostering a system that enables people to help themselves, America is now saddled with a system that destroys value, raises costs, hinders innovation and relegates millions of citizens to a life of poverty, dependency and hopelessness. This is what happens when elected officials believe that people's lives are better run by politicians and regulators than by the people themselves. Those in power fail to see that more government means less liberty, and liberty is the essence of what it means to be American. Love of liberty is the American ideal.


Dayum! Didn't realize anybody thought this way anymore. Evil capitalist trying to force freedom down errbody's throats. This fool has no clue about economic justice, social justice, gender justice, speech justice, reproductive justice, or religious justice. This running dog bourgeoisie will soon be ground under the heels of the proletariat.
