Statist Political Philosophy

Description: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” I think some Italian guy said this. I think he was one of the dissidents against American corporate influence or the Vietnam war, or something. I’m not sure, but I do know that he was in favor of universal health insurance. After taking a really cool, enriching and stimulating Extension Course at the New School, and studying under a really great, funny, sensitive, and understanding professor (not that my ex-boyfriend would know anything about THOSE things), I have decided to set up this group on the First of April, 2007. The purpose of it is also to serve as a “fair and balanced” alibi should a certain someone reevaluate his decision not to join a certain other political philosophy group. (Just so everbody knows, the Greek statue guy is Plato. He was also in favor of universal health insurance. And that was before ANYBODY had health insurance, which means he was pretty cool.)
