I can comprehend reasonable arguments. That mostly means I can't really follow Redux's thinking, as I do not believe it to be honest, and only occasionally informed.

For an instance, he tells us progressive taxation is somehow not Socialist, capital S. There is no socialist economy that doesn't feature progressive taxation. Yet he blandly insists that this socialistic policy is somehow not socialist. Can't buy that one.

The Gilded Age, despite its many sins, was also quite the period of economic growth. Fretting about economic growth, being sure it must somehow be inherently bad, seems another mental bad habit of socialists, and it sure seems to have bothered Redux.

I am also certain that when I compose the case for gun control as a necessary precondition for genocide and hence intimately connected with it, that the case I make, regardless of when I make it, will persuade everyone. Everyone. Even Redux will have an epiphany. It's simply that good and that carefully examined. Oh, it's also put together by Redux's coreligionists; did he know that? He really should not try to line up sixteen different rationalizations and miserable excuses for not crediting it, for he cannot do this and maintain intellectual honesty. Disliking me is no excuse whatsoever. There are dead folks out there who got that way because guns were denied them -- while not to others. The nature and affiliations of those others become important to the matter.
