Such a privilege to have no idea how the Government can execute millions of its citizens having no doubt that they are paving the way to a Better Tomorrow.
You're right: our only two options are (A) extreme libertarianism where the Government exists only to protect the interests of the rich, and (B) the government literally exterminating its own citizens. We better be careful not to increase taxes on the rich or we risk immediately turning into (B)!
Also, didn't I just say that eugenics was a horrible thing that was in-vogue in the early 20th century? Isn't that exactly what you're saying?
This is a textbook example of a straw man.
Are you referring to your GP comment about how I must be ignorant about governments killing their own citizens because I dared suggest that governments can help the poor? If so, I agree: a straw man and lots of other fallacies to boot.
Okay, I'm attacking the C.S. Lewis quote and not your main point, which is interesting, although I'm not exactly sure who is trying to remake me in their image and what that would even mean.
Not to mention that "curing the ills of society" in the worst way imaginable (eugenics) was pretty in-vogue with early 20th century "old money".
