Re: Maher and friends on socialism
There was no Cato Institution in Rome. I was making a play on words on Cato, a Roman statesman who killed himself after being defeated in battle by Caesar. His father, Cato the Elder, was a big shot in Roman Republican politics, too. I assumed that's who the right wing think tank named themselves after.
As far as property is concerned, I meant land, or the means of production. Not even the Soviets passed laws against personal belongings. Jeez, you really must be paranoid. Do you think the tax man is coming to repo your car?
