Others more attuned to political realities have given up and moved on. <br /><br />For example, many natural-born Brits have emigrated to other countries due to communitarian policies, unreasonably high taxation and lax immigration policies (See: P. Buchanan, Day of Reckoning). <br /><br />Here in the States, the same exodus will take place as more communitarian policies emerge. Libertarians like Hedge Fund guru Jim Rogers emigrated to Asia for similar reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938933649493088489.post-49905610564711846142010-03-21T14:28:40.808-07:002010-03-21T14:28:40.808-07:00One has to wonder about Rockwell and many of his w...One has to wonder about Rockwell and many of his writers. They just don't seem to get it. Or they get it and they are working to help along The Dialectic. And then there's the problem with Mises and Rothbard who some have researched and found them to be something other than what they are presented as. It's like The John Birch Society in a way. Whatever John Birch was or was not it sure looks to me like the founder, Robert Welch, was a deceiver. Those who joined up were kept busy accomplishing nothing (still are) and they served as an antithesis for the Leftists/Commies thesis. I read Welch's Blue Book and it reads like something written by a Freemason (which I suspect he was). This world is full of so many lies and liars that it boggles the mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938933649493088489.post-46210552730264115652010-03-21T04:48:06.993-07:002010-03-21T04:48:06.993-07:00"So, is Britian really that hospitable to com..."So, is Britian really that hospitable to communitarian politics or is it like in the US where the people don't have a clue that communitarian politics even exist?"<br /><br />Britain has had a welfare state for quite a long time. The NHS started in 1948 and people have become used to having health care provided for "free" (of course it is paid for by taxes). Curiously enough I know two people who have had recent experiences of being in a NHS hospital and they both reckon it was horrible.<br /><br />There is a "culture of dependency" amongst some people in Britain who have relied on the welfare state for years, if not generations.<br /><br />I believe that making people dependent on state handouts is a deliberate policy and that the system is specifically designed to trap people inside the system.<br /><br />As far as communitarianism as an idea is concerned, most British people do not have a clue what that term means (it is NEVER mentioned on TV politics programmes, as far as I know).<br /><br />Trying to explain it to them that projects like Public Private Partnerships and sustainable development schemes are total rip-offs is like trying to flog a dead horse.Stop Common Purposehttp://www.stopcp.com/noreply@blogger.com
