The American Libertarians also want to peel back all the Civil Rights strides made in the past 100 years and go back to a laissez faire system. That whole "ant-big government" thing doesn't really work here. That would mean they are anti- Civil Rights Act, anti-National Guard protecting workers strikes, anti-every people's movement. It's true the top have much control over us, but Ron Paul has no solutions to that problem, only less hindrances for them.

"How, now, brown cow? I'm down with the Mau Mau..." The Mau Mau were anti-colonial resistant in Kenya.

oh there's the whole "authoritarianism" thing too but i think that that was only as bad as it was in china and russia thanks to the lack of rule of law in those places prior to their revolutions. bevanism in britain achieved the same kinds of successes as leninism did (literacy, healthcare, infrastructure) without the gulags and stasi. in my opinion independent courts and elections are the key to an equitable socialist nation.
