Just trying to pin down where Herr Bloch stands. Being a fascist is a
legitimate political position on the Nolan chart, though it might be
more politely described as 'authoritarian'. He did say he was the
'furthest thing from a socialist', yet also denounced libertarianism.
The only alternative to being an authoritarian is a conservative
Republican.... if he refuses to admit being any of the above, the only
real alternative is to be an absolute centrist, i.e. to have absolutely
no principles whatsoever, but that is hardly the furthest thing from a
socialist. By definition, a centrist is 50% socialist.

The thread was changed, btw, by someone (other than me), to 'small
government'.
