None of that silly populist utopian savior narcissistic stuff. Only Republicans want unregulated capitalism.

Last year I read the memoir of a man who escaped from North Korea as a boy, and it gave me a new appreciation of having the opportunity of having your own garden, your own house. In this modern world people want their own stuff, not like low-population hunting and gathering cultures. Theoretical societies are fun when you're young, but then you learn what people are like.
