Hi -- I find it useful to cast the discussion in terms of "freedom 
from" and "freedom to" with the bourgeois revolutions of the 18th 
century supplying (some of) "freedom from" and socialism supplying 
"freedom to." I find most right-wingers have never though of it. 

You might find it interesting to read Robert Nozick's _Anarchy, 
State, and Utopia_ sometime, and think up counter-arguments. He makes 
the strongest case I know of for anarcho-capitalism, and it still 
falls before the Marxist critique, especially if we ask questions 
like "Where do current popular concepts of freedom and the like come 
from?" "Were they always like they are now?" "Do they stay like they 
are now?" "Whose interests are served with them the way they are 
now?"

Regards,

Charlie
