	Apparently it can indeed be argued that he wanted to become part of the
ruling class. Cathal Garvey said as much, if I read him correctly.

	If you want to attack Swartz you can do it without laughably trying to
defend the 'physical property' of the mit mafia. Your defense being doubly
weird since you're supposedly a libertarian?

	Then again, the vast majority of self-described libertarians I now are
actually conservatives...
