>>15 There is a difference between recognizing something and enforcing it. Communitarianism, at least the type I read about, focuses on defining a system that accumulates, allowing every individual to make better choices in a night-watcher state. It doesn't seek to enforce a community, just encourage it, argument for it and provide a scientific basis for how communities take shape. There is a slippery slope in that kind of thinking as well, of course, but I can reconcile.
>>16 Communitarianism is not voluntary communism, since it doesn't want a strong government that demands economic or social conformity. It wants to create a good model for a civilization that is compatible with human nature and spirit.
>>17 "Mix libertarianism and communitarianism and you get... a moderate? Oh noes." Communitarianism is about suggestions, evaluations and moderations of a system through intellectual, non-arbitrary means. It is compatible with a night-watcher state.
>>22 Seconded.
