And: Middle of the road leads to Socialism:

There's a clear progression from minimal govt intervention in the market to maximal intervention. Whatever you call the maximal, be it: fascism, state capitalism, or communism, it always involves the creation of state monopolies in every industry (health, education, roads, housing, water, banking, insurance, retail, mining, etc) and the structuring of society such that the individual must apply to the state before he may make even the simplest decision about his life: where to live, what he may do as his occupation, whether or not he may cut the tree down in front of his house.

This has been both empirically and mathematically demonstrated in the past 300 years. The only two answers are revolution (short term solution, e.g American revolution) and anarchy (long term solution: eliminate the predatory state and replace it with proper government, i.e rule by law.)
