Due process of law is an evolved way of living in a civilized fashion that protects the freedom of all. - Alan Charles Kors

[V]oluntary exchange among individuals held morally responsible under the rule of law creates both prosperity and an unparalleled diversity of human choices. Such a model also has been a precondition of individuation and freedom. By contrast, regimes of central planning create poverty and occasion ineluctable developments toward totalitarianism and the worst abuses of power. Dynamic free-market societies, grounded in rights-based individualism, have altered the entire human conception of liberty and of dignity for formerly marginalized groups. The entire "socialist experiment," by contrast, ended in stasis; ethnic hatreds; the absence of even the minimal preconditions of economic, social, and political renewal; and categorical contempt for both individuation and minority rights. Our children do not know this true comparison.

The bodies demand accounting, apology, and repentance. Without such things, the age of communism lives.

Until socialism is confronted with its lived, communist reality, the gravest atrocities of all recorded human life, we live in its age.
