X-Btw: sony.com is also sonygate.sony.com From: tcmay@netcom.com (Timothy C. May) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 1994 09:43:48 -0700 (PDT) [...] But I mostly agree with everything Mats has said. Leftists should take heart that crypto anarchy also reduces the power of corporations (many of whom climb into bed with government the first chance they get to suppress competition, get favorable laws and patents, etc. As Mussolini said, "Fascism *is* corporatism.") Now where have I heard that? ;-} Many leftists I know claim to be anti-capitalist, naturally. But they are often deeply market-oriented, participating in "farmer's markets" with zeal. To libertarians, of course, this *is* capitalism! (Read Karl Hess' "Capitalism for Kids" for an easy treatment of this. Lots of other libertarian books, too.) Sigh! Tell me, do you subscribe to Bill Bradford's rag "Liberty" too? I can never throw away "Lassiez Faire Books" catalogs, even though they have a pathological worship for Nathan Blumenthal...
