: Of course, you need to remember that "conservative" in Locke's time meant something different than "conservative" now. Locke's "liberals" are now called "conservatives", at least here in the states.

Interesting.

It doesnt take a smart person to see that capitalism is as bad as communism. All it takes is common sense and freedom from prejudice.
