The Constitution is not a good thing. It is not pro-liberty etc.
"whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain — that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.” —Spooner

Communism is the flat-earth theory of economics.
Every attempt produces shortages, censorship, poverty, and political repression. Every failure is explained away. Every disaster becomes evidence that the next attempt will work.
Most ideologies are abandoned when reality disproves them.
Communism gets promoted to a university department.
Remember when Bernie Sanders debated a libertarian and essentially admitted he couldn't answer the question directly because an honest answer would expose the contradiction in his own position?
Political tribalists spend so much time sorting people into ideological categories that they forget how to engage with ideas on their own merits. Every disagreement becomes "what team are you on?" instead of "is this argument true?"
For a man celebrated as an intellectual giant, he seemed remarkably uncomfortable defending his ideas without retreating into labels, abstractions, and political theater.
If America would embrace capitalism and reject cronyism
in health care, agriculture, military contracting, insurance, media, technology, and banking,
we would experience a renaissance unprecedented in human history.
