[lbo-talk] Ron Paul Admits He's On Social Security, Even Though He Believes It's Unconstitutional

[Carrol Cox]

Let me underline this. Were I on some capitalist program which I in
principle abhorred, & someone 'accused' me of admitting that I was on it, I
would reply by Damn it -- I don't admit it, I boast about it. Paul should
say the same. (I don't like Paul, but I dislike even more mixing moralistic
attacks on persons with politics.)

This is not an acceptable criticism of Paul. His position is valid. I
support the liquidation of capitalist relations but I very happily take
advantage of whatever advantages I draw from it. I despise Shell Oil, but I
buy gasoline (or used to when I drove) from the most convenient spot, be it
Shell or Exxon. I've expressed this anti-moralistic view of anti-capitalism
continuously   on this list. There is no reason whatever why Paul should not
both oppose Social Security and at the same time profit from it. No
contradiction. No irony. No point to make against Paul.
