I guess the people of France should have been satisfied with being poor, and just accepted that the lower classes faced most of the tax burden.
I guess our own founding fathers should have just been satisfied with what Great Britain was throwing at us too.
Unfortunately people will never be satisfied with the conservative forms of goverment like Fascism, Monarchy, Aristocracy, Theocracy and Dictatorships.
Why?
Because they suck.
This is the Nth time I've had to correct you on this definition...but I don't mind.
The American intellectual class from the mid 19th century onward has disliked liberalism (which originally referred to individualism, private property, and limits on power) precisely because the liberal society has no overarching goal. War Is the Health of the State
"referred to individualism, private property, and limits on power"
That's very different from "conservative forms of goverment like Fascism, Monarchy, Aristocracy, Theocracy and Dictatorships," isn't it?
In fact the opposite.
But I fully understand your need to obfuscate.
I almost sympathize with your plight.
Almost, loser.
