Without applying this theory to every political issue, for me, the question is always one of a justified means to remedy a certain end, and hence should thus govern the form of interference. When the State takes something from you, or forces you to do something, that excercise of power should be, and needs to be, just. Within that framework, the means of interference should be as minimally intrusive as possible. Where does this philosophy fall within the context of the political spectrum? I dont know. The biggest problem with U.S. politics is the either / or mindset. One is either a repubican or a democrate. This is like saying one may either ride a 250cc bike, or a 750cc bike. In fact, these are only parts of a larger spectrum of possible choices. Moreover, a 250cc my serve one purpose much better on any given day than a 750cc. This should not then forever bar alignmentd with 750cc bikes. I view government as forcing us to all live in a cage. The goal of justice is expand the size of the cage, to the point where it is so large we are no longer aware we are therein contained. It will never be fully defeated, but we should seldom brush up against its walls. Elements of many political ideals can aid in that expansion. Parced of anaology, my point is leave the crutches of political affiliation aside. Aim and follow for something higher...your own sense of personal justice, and then align yourself with what ever best mirrors that in the real world, if only for a fleeting moment.
