Question. Why is it wrong, (angry, upsetting, enraging, ect), for an individualist/ libertarian to write an extremist work, and be known for it, and not, say Karl Marx who wrote extremist tomes for collectivism? And why is it more evil for people to follow one extreme and not the other?

Back in the 1970's, I had more than one professor proudly boast to the class that he/she was Marxist. I never had one proudly claim they were a Randite or believed in limited government of any stripe. Nor were any PoliSci courses taught about the failings of over-centralised government, despite thousands of examples. You'd think that such things would be taught, but a truly balances look at the whole political spectrum was "too much" for advanced education...
