Centralized vs. decentralized government

[Wilson23]

You're such a fool.

But I'm not wrong.

 

[mstrman]

But I'm not wrong.

Yes you are.

 

[Wilson23]

Yes you are.

Not about the value of centralized government.

 

[Chadrone]

Not about the value of centralized government.

Yea, you're wrong about that.

Outside of national defense it's a net negative.

 

[Wilson23]

Yea, you're wrong about that.

Outside of national defense it's a net negative.

Neither our history nor any other country's supports that conclusion.

The Green Party has no value.

The Greens seem to have some Jeffersonian-agrarian-Distributist vision to which decentralized government is compatible -- but that has no future as a way of life.
