As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep." - The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1
The only political philosophy worth considering is christian socialist with a bit of republicanism thrown in.

Fantastic thread. It will tell us more about Pie than about real politics, which habitually tends to embarass its own taxonomy (no pun meant). Ideas of left and right are outdated and modernist. What we must speak of now is politics of up and down. We must, above all, reject fascism and religious orthdoxy, especially Christian, Jewish and Moslem.
