talkpoliticsHi again, fellers! Time for the new monthly topic. The one you chose for June was:
Statism vs Libertarianism
Heh. I can smell all the partisanship from here :)
Some details:
- State, society and individuals
- The social contract
- Big government: the power grab
- The road to fascism and the police state
- Forms of statism: minarchism, totalitarianism, the nanny state
- State interventionism
- Social justice and class warfare
- The Age of Enlightenment and the rise of anarchism
- Anti-statism, classical liberalism, laissez-faire
- The principles of libertarianism
- Individualism in the United States
- Prominent figures in the libertarian school of thought
- Civil liberties, property rights and personal autonomy
- Libertarianism and the labor force
- Objectivism and Ayn Rand
- Anarcho-capitalism, libertarian socialism and left-libertarianism
- Modern American libertarianism
- Criticism of libertarianism
- World examples of libertarianism
- The role of libertarianism in modern US politics
And here's the poll for July:
[Poll #2046310]
(Feel free to suggest more).

Date: 2/6/16 08:10 (UTC)not sure, i'm not american, but i still cast my vote (in my own mind) to see how it turns out. i think the rest of the world also does that with american politics. but the times they are a-changing.. meaning that what happens in america is not isolative as it affects the world in general at many levels. we live in a global village..
or at least we think we do
speaking for myself of course
