Though Robin sometimes seems to intend to incriminate Hayek and others by association, as with the likes of Pinochet, perhaps as a way to emphasize his continued membership in good standing on the political Left, there is nothing in the core of his argument, as opposed to its trivial polemical decorations, that a Hayekian ought to find embarrassing. To the contrary, Robin attributes "profundity and daring" to Hayek and his marginal siblings. Thought through, Robin's arguments may present at least as many difficulties to a leftist, including one operating from Robin's own presumptions, as to a conservative or to a libertarian.

@ Ken:
Pick a fight???
Naw.
Just throwing in a fact or two.
Is that threatening? Hope not, cause picking a fight with people who'll kill their own ignorant selves can't be any too safe for me.

From 1991-1997 firearm homicides consistently outnumbered firearm suicides. Since 1998 firearm suicides has outnumbered firearm homicides. In 2000, this pattern continued, barely: Of the 3,092 firearm deaths in 2000, 1,488 were suicides, 1,478 were homicides, and 53 were unintentional (the remainder were either police shootings or of undetermined intent).

@ CK MacLeod:
I was going to encourage you to post it over there, as I think that it's a necessary fight for conservatives to have amongst themselves if they wish to uphold their self-view as careful as thoughtful folk.
But, I'll be damned before I urge a man to break his own rice bowl when I'm not gonna feed him.

Pretty nice job, Tsar, pretty nice. I would even venture into a reading of your longer version should you place it before us.
Good work with Wilson and reminding us how his government of First Fascists violently suppressed all dissent and rigged that 1918 mid-term congressional election.

Quite right, Joe. Goldberg can argue that liberalism is akin to fascism because he doesn't define fascism.
red and yellow are pretty much the same as well.
