Hi n8chz,
I just found your blog after following the link from one of your comments on C4SS. I just wanted to thank you for your kind words about my article. It was the first piece I have submitted to C4SS. Indeed it is the first article I have submitted on-line, except for feisty op-ed letters that I have sent to my local paper. So I have been eager to find feedback.
I think I will try to drop by here more often to read your posts and exchange ideas. Like you, I am a bit to the left of many of the C4SS contributors. As much as I value the contributions of the blog, I do have some concerns with their attempts to synthesize Left-libertarian ideas with right-wing liberalism (I really don’t even like to call it right-libertarianism). Libertarianism proper has always been a socialist movement. I don’t think C4SS does itself any favors when it ignores that fact to make classical libertarians feel more comfortable. Take care and I’ll talk to you later.

Dave
