So Sentynel, you believe that it is best for the government to act only on the greater good for the group, and not the pursuit of individual happiness?

Which means, that it's basically communist...


Which means that you couldn't do as you please...

Which means you believe in mercantilism and monopolies....

Right? Correct me harshly if I'm wrong.

I don't believe in government, Nero. I'm strongly left-wing because I believe industry should be owned by the people, but I don't believe in a government getting in the way of that. Those who run industry own the industry.

Favourite realistic society? Liberal democratic socialism. Closest thing to it is the governments of Scandinavia.

Isn't that free-market?

No. Free market means that a few rich people own industry and many poor people work in it for them. I believe in the workers owning the industry they work in. No rich few. In communism, this is enforced by the government. In anarchist collectivism, it's voluntary.

Has ANYBODY read Atlas Shrugged?

Not saying objectivism is perfect, but I'd perfer it to New Russia.

I'm happy to hear Tool will be popping up as well.

Communism should not be confused with socialism in general. Communism is extremely left-wing economically and extremely authoritarian; socialism is not so extremely left wing and much less authoritarian than modern American or British society, never mind communist society.

Objectivism is a good ideal. However, I would like to merge both Sent's ideal, and Objectivism.

..what? You can't merge an absolute right-wing philosophy with an absolute left-wing philosophy, even if both are libertarian.
