Hillary Clinton -- First Communitarian President/VP of the United States?
http://nord.twu.net/acl/hilary.html

My take on it is that libertarians, frustrated that libertarianism was being mocked by all sides, created communitarianism as a mirror opposite party. Libertarians have insisted that they are somewhere in the middle, even though it's quite impossible to place it on a standard, left/right, political chart. So, making communitarianism into a middle ground as well, well, that is a stroke of genius.

Is this is an improvement on calling people socialist, or communist?

Yes, I know this link is to a strange lady's postings, but the idea of anti-libertarianism intrigues me. A bit like matter and anti-matter on the old Star Trek TV show.

The entire political left / right continuum is a product of the nature of our money.
