Quoting again from The Notebooks of Lazarus Long,

"Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative and so forth-are never basic criteria.

The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number.

The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism.

But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort."

Robert Heinlein wrote that quite a while ago and I question the motives of those people today who want to do the controlling.
