Reply #57: How did you get the impression that I'm making that argument?

[AP]

I think I've made it pretty clear that I think you can have government which elects people, a government which selects people to rule, or a government in which the privilege to rule is inherited, and that that government can either be totally free-market, totally socialized, or some mix of government and private ownership.

And I'm not clear how this relates to your argument (but I suspect it has something to do with that confusing second paragraph of yours).
