They aren't extremes. They are two aspects of being human. I am a communist in the context of family and libertarian in my global politics.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 8:44 pm Consider: two extreme positions (the natural rights libertarian & the marxist communist)
The way I reconcile the two is via recognition that they both work and serve a purpose at different scale. If you want an example of working Marxist communism look no further than Israeli Kibbutizm.
And as natural rights libertarian, I am sure you recognise freedom of association as an individual right. Which all that is necessary for a bunch of individuals to form a Marxist Communist Kibbuts.
Freedom is a double-edged sword.
