Excuse me, care to elaborate a bit to make your point?
My point is, if socialism and communism imply 100% government control of the economy, and if anarchism implies 0% government control of the economy, then anyone for less than 50% government control of the economy is more of an anarchist than a socialist. Particularly Ron Paul is nearly an anarchist. So why not call all the canidates anarchists?

I thought you said we were rounding:

[Yarn], You are correct when you say that none of them are "technically" a socialist or communist, but that is a small issue of technicality because they all are leaning so far to the left economicly, and to the right socially, .
It is innane and utterly inaccurate, to say that anyone who wants siginificantly more government than you, is for 100% government control of the economy and our private lives.


A closed mind is a dead mind.
