Steven Den Beste and Pixy Misa have provided quite a feast for thought.
They explore the roots of political differences as based in differing philosophical schools, and helped me underscore in my own mind why political structures erected by elitist idealists will generally fail.
I've always thought of myself as a material realist; a pragmatist, if you will.
Enough about me. Go and read both articles in their entirety.
