To understand the three basic paradigms of American political party thought, I look to the 1944 black and white movie, "Lifeboat."
The world is a lifeboat:
The Democrats (Marxists) want to kill down the population on and around the boat to make way for hard times expected in the coming weeks and months, as provisions disappear. Your individual life and property mean nothing to the overall survival of the collective effort.
The Republicans (National Socialists) want to segregate into parts of the lifeboat and kill off any perceived invaders seeking their resources.
The Libertarian (Ron Paul/ Milton Friedman Free Marketers) don't conspire or wish any harm or segregation on the others but wait until an increase in technology (the rescue ship) arrives and encourage conservation by the reason of your own conscience till then. We learn from Milton Friedman's "Honk Kong" PBS Specials, still available on Youtube, that the maximum good is objectively attained for the maximum number of humans through this last approach. We are all in this together. Yes, you own property, but be kind and benevolent, so that when the end of life comes, we know we lived a moral existence rooted in the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) and come to death with a clear conscience.
