13. As with any political philosophy it is often misunderstood
Communism, fascism, they all have their merrits. It's the interpretation that falls short of the goal.

All things considered, the line of thought that touches closest to my personal believe system is libertarianism.
I don't know who Neil Bortz is but I know that there are many, let's say militia-type organizations, that call themselves libertarians.
Personally, I would label the UCLA as a typical libertarian organization.

Anyway, I for one am not likely to defend any philosophy as the one and only truth. I leave it to the Pope to declare Catholicism the one true church.
