Really, Michael, have we been reduced to red-baiting? Did we somehow slip back
in time to the 1950s? Communism, like every other idealogy (i.e., idealized
belief system), has been and will continue to be subject to corruption. Just
like capitalism, or libertarianism, or liberalism. Perhaps if we could work
toward improvement without name-calling and labeling we might actually get
somewhere. And what exactly IS this "human nature" I keep hearing so much about?
I'm a bit confused on this. Does this mean that nothing we do matters because
"human nature" is going to mess it up anyway? That we ultimately have no free
will? How is this different than theists laying everything on the doorstep of
god?
