learned while reading something on Pound

[David Morris]

I guess extreme libertarianism is pretty close to non-violent
anarchism.  Both are essentially anti-Authoritarian.  But neither are
what one would call "liberal" or "progressive," mostly because neither
would support anything achieved through taxes, coerced financial
support of government services.  So is Pynchon a Liberal?  I know many
here would vigorously assert that he is, but that is hard to square
with Anarchism...
