I'm not American, but I am, well, not only 'progressive' (whatever the hell that diversionary term means) but leftist and anarchist (the 'libertarian' tag most apply to themselves in the states is as diversionary as 'progressive' and probably 'conservative' imho)
If you believe in freedom, we have common ground.
If you believe in a minimum of authority, we have common ground.
If you believe in markets, we have common ground.
Mutualism. Individual enterprise. Co-operatives. Markets for REAL goods and labo(u)r. Enabling collective services (education, healthcare, etc).
'Left' and 'Right' who favour economic and personal freedom are artificially divided by spectacles, in my opinion.

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - Winston Churchill, 1937 --{ORLY?}--
