no steve,
democracies in their progression to central state control ends up controlling their populace just like communist country’s do. that is the comparison. there is a difference in degree not kind. for your information freedom is not just the right to stand on a corner and scream bush sucks. it is the right to live as you wish, raise your family as you wish, ingest what you wish, build and or remodel your house as you wish, go where you wish etc etc etc. the usa as a land of freedom is long gone. i own a home in Rivas Nicaragua. i will tell you in Nicaragua, despite the communist government and obvious totalitarianism especially in the press that the taxes here are lower, my personal freedoms are greater, and my rights to live however i wish are considerable greater. the usa has become the ant farm Hayek warned us about.
