      As opposed to keeping the man as far away as possible from any kind of power at all. You preferred to gamble with fascism.

      Fun facts: Sokol is a leftist, did solidarity work in Nicaragua, & lots of leftists hate post-modernism

          Also, most sophisticated positivism, Wittgenstein, collapsed into linguistic idealism, foreshadowing postmodernism
