I would prefer small, local systems over large, dominating systems.

I'm "communist" in the sense that I believe in community and giving.

I'm "free market" in the sense that I believe we should come together because we want to, not because some dictator says we have to.

Life is a balance between individuals and communities. If both are healthy, then they create healthy tension, or polarity, like in a good marriage or a good family. When someone has to be a control freak / sociopath, then, well, we all know what that means.

If the community supports the talents and endeavour of the individual, the individual will prosper and inturn support the community.....much more effectively.

This is a virtual impssibility from the acctivities of large centralised systems of governance. They will support only those with prominent positions of power and influence simply to retain the power and control of such governance. The individual becomes an economic unit only to be sucked dry of his resources as far as possible to the expiry of his life. This is anti human

Just say that you think you're entitled to command others without reciprocation and leave your emotional noise out of it.

It's amazing how many Americans insist on their Freedom, but refuse to take any Responsibility for it.

A bunch of fucking juveniles.
