I hear frequently that any all "socialism" inevitably leads to Leninism

Perhaps the inverse is also the case

Beat me to it.

Many "Republicans" and "Tea-Party" types advocate for Laissez Faire, with their "Who is John Galt" signs and all that lunacy

If you don't count the foolhardy laws that turn drug lords into jillionaires by acting as back-door price supports, laissez-faire is in full force in the recreational drug trade.

for the sake of discussion, lets use Laissez Faire in the same way that the right uses Socialist.

No. There are no followers of Laissez Faire among the leaders of the GOP as there are avowed socialists among Democrats.

Lousy assumption.

Get lost.

Pull your pants up, your bias is showing. Don't rely on the opinions of others, go out and learn how to conduct your own survey and then do it. Otherwise you're just being told what to think.

Why? It's a false dichotomy.

Not true.

fair enough?

No because it isn't fair at all. It's framing towards your bias.

Pull your pants up.
