More quotes by Michael Lind
Libertarianism and communism are equally crazy in opposite ways. Libertarians believe that it is possible to privatize everything without anarchy, while communists believe that it is possible to socialize everything without tyranny.
Michael Lind
Because of our peculiar electoral law, the American government is divided between two parties. The American people are not.
Michael Lind
