Intellectual property is not the foundation of fascism.
Mary Anne — (archived)

It's the foundation of free speech. The concept of intellectual property allows that individuals own their own thoughts and words, and may profit from them. They aren't common property.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need? Is that your philosophy?

You'd be better off taking a page from Umberto Eco, from whom Britt took the concept for the article you published without permission. Eco understands fascism better than Britt.

The history of the United States is full of swings from one extreme to another. We are at one end of a pendulum swing. Your words are spiteful. You wish us to fail to swing back. I have no love for the current administration, but I do love my country, even with its flaws. I know its history. I know that we may fail, but we will only fail for certain if we give up.

Good luck to you, too, if we fail. Good luck with the Russians and the Chinese.
