Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.
-- Robert A. Heinlein
