What is Communitarianism?

[kandrathe]

I mentioned "Agenda 21" in Meat's socialism thread, but this topic deserves it's own discussion. I think the words, "communism", "socialism", "fascism", "capitalism" are from a 20th century lexicon. These are words that we all understand and have programmed reactions for or against. New ideas inspire new words. New words for a new world order.

Former President Bill Clinton recently said,

"[W]e're now in a position to begin again," he said. "It's not a leftward movement. It's a forward, communitarian movement." Communitarianism is a movement that considers individualism an impediment to society uniformly adopting values the movement considers appropriate, including authoritarian gun control. For example, the Communitarian Network platform states "there is little sense in gun registration. What we need to significantly enhance public safety is domestic disarmament of the kind that exists in practically all democracies." Former President Bill Clinton quoted 2/6/09 by NRA-ILA

What is the Communitarian Network and why is former Prez. Bill Clinton touting them? I would guess then that Hillary, and other progressives also are embracing this Communitarian movement of Dr. Amitai Etzioni at George Washington University.

So, Meat, maybe "socialism" is the wrong word for a modern world.
