This is simply wrong. Assuming communitatians and populists are statists
is moronic and bizarre... Unless the assumption is that people directly
governing the affairs of their own community is statist. I CAN imagine a
Libertarian would think that. Because local self-governance interferes
with their FEUDALISTIC PREDATORY tendencies.

PS. Met another Uber Driver who lives in his leased car this morning.

I wonder where the CEO of Uber sleeps?

I'd dox that in a flash so his slave drivers could look him up and
butcher him while he sleeps. Sort of like the CPD did to BPP Leader Fred
Hampton, but different, and deserving of it...
