Yes, I read the Wiki; and Proudhom seems to wobble from side to side with a pronounced list to the left. Diverse societies and cultures prevent the cohesion necessary to integrate the world as a free for all. All we can reasonibly expect is to respectfully Marco Polo our way around the planet. Resources and the dominance over them has always lead to vile outcomes to the detriment of indigenous peoples. Government is a nasty business; but someone has to do it. Only recourse is to be vigilant and dismember as necessary. Property is vital to the welfare of the individual except for excess desires. He that has resources to be an entrepreneur is entitled to reap the rewards of his labor. A man is entitled to a fair wage for his labor. It is greed, the desire for power and immorality that destroys. That whom or what you worship is all important. Choose wisely. No one has all the answers. Hence, there will be conflict.
