What is Communitarianism?

[kandrathe]

I'm sure I'm going to regret responding to yet another belligerent, words-in-my-mouth taunt, but here goes.

"Right" and "left" are not well defined, nor do they form a useful spectrum. However, they have at least come to vaguely imply a pair of culturally driven political alliances. The terms are not useless, however nebulous they might be.

The "third way" doesn't even make it to that feeble standard. There is no coherent idea behind it at all. It is a cynical branding exercise, and its adherents tend to be about as slippery and vague as good Mr. Clinton was.

Yeah, left moves right and right moves left and pretty soon you just have a pile of ambidextrous idiots that no one is happy with.
