re: #641 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I think perhaps the biggest difference between right-wing and left-wing views is the amount of control and responsibility that parents have over their kids’ future. It goes all the way from economic (how much do we level the playing field for the next generation) to social (can teachers encourage kids to disagree with their parents’ views - see upthread comments, and I realize that the original discussion arose from a misunderstanding).

I don’t see that there’s a moral argument in favor of either position really, other than observing the outcomes (along the whole spectrum from Victorian capitalism through post-war Western Europe to COMMUNIST RUSSIA).
