Cupertino, CA. Lines: 18 Wait a second! **FLAME** As a libertarian, I have to disagree with your contention that Marxists and Libertarians have a lot in common. Marxism is based on the belief that the individual gets the greatest benefit by pooling his work with others for the State (Which is much different than theoretical or real communism). Libertarians believe that government is a neccessary evil that should be limited only to those things that HAVE to be done by the government. Thats a LOT different, since one tries to maximize the common good by reducing individuality, and the other tries to maximize the individual good by minimizing governmental restraints... ** Flame off ** -- >From the dungeons of the Warlock: Chuck Von Rospach ucbvax!amd70!packet!cfv (chuqui@mit-mc) <- obsolete!
