Hospers thought he could justify wage-labor, factory discipline and hierarchic management by noting that they're imposed in Leninist regimes as well as under capitalism. Only upon the firm foundation of factory fascism and office oligarchy do libertarians and Leninists dare to debate the trivial issues dividing them. Toss in the mainstream conservatives who feel just the same and we end up with a veritable trilateralism of pro-work ideology seasoned to taste. By thousands subordinating their will to the will of one. But freedom means more than the right to change masters.

Incapable of living a life of liberty, you'll settle for one of its ideological representations, like libertarianism.
