Ron Paul: Towards An American Left

Ron Paul wants to roll back the frontiers of the federal state. Good. The US, like the EU, is far too large and far too diverse for social democracy at federal level. Unhitch states' rights from slavery or segregation (the former having long been against the explicit text of the Constitution, while the latter can never return now that blacks have the vote), and that principle is just what America needs in order to produce a proper Left, doing things at state and local level.
