Fascist or Liberal?
An excellent compromise, I think. I'm reluctant to call it liberal because I'm British and "liberal" instinctively means something different to me, but "big government" is a perfect description. Thanks for this. --SamCoulter 22:23, 26 March 2012 (EDT)
- Actually, neither works. This book is a piece of young adult literature, not a soapbox to lament big government/liberalism.23:02, 26 March 2012 (EDT)
- It does carry a political message and while (being a Brit) I won't accept it as a criticism of true liberalism, it's certainly a valid criticism of big government. --SamCoulter 23:18, 26 March 2012 (EDT)
