"If you care about people you must be a socialist"

A fellow right wing libertarian blogger, "don't set fire to your jacket" has a rather nice piece that I think you may want to read. Take a look here.

The key paragraph being ""If you care about people you must be a socialist"

This gives you two options, grasp one horn and declare that you care about people and are therefore a socialist or go for the other and state that you disagree with socialism and therefore do not care about people. It is of course bollocks because of the excluded middle, it is not only possible to care about people and not be a socialist, it is entirely possible not to be a socialist because you care about people."
