Of course, to him, state power lied in the monarchy. If anything, Germany needed to be liberalized in the second half of the 19th century.

As far as the American Democrat’s are concerned, their reforms are capitalist in nature. They’re nothing like, say, the Canadian or U.K. systems. The Democrat’s reform does not socialized the American health care industry, nor does it establish a single-payer system. It really has some pretty modest measures, and considering your claims that these health reform measures will lead to some collectivist entity, the reforms aren’t too popular on the left. Go to any (REAL) left-wing site, and aren’t thrilled at all.

(By the way, I don’t think most American right-wingers actually knows what a real radical left-winger, as opposite to a left-of-center moderate, looks or sounds like.)

And seeing how your politics appear to lie on the political right, it’s strange to hear you talk about liberalism, especially since American conservatives have done their best to demonize this ideology which lies at the roots of America. Conservatives draw no distinction between social and economic liberals. No, that isn’t enough. ALL liberals are evil, as pronounced by the Right, even if American conservatives have glommed onto some Age of Enlighten liberal ideals. (And without fully understanding them, in my opinion.)

Anyway, if you have made it this far, thanks for listening!
