Watching that video, it's interesting to see how the capitalism of today is making the same mistakes as the communism of yesteryear. The problem Reagan talks about, of over-centralising. The mistake we make is in reductionism, and labelling, and over-generalisation, and identifying oneself with 'left' or 'right' or 'middle' as though complicated political and economic processes are one-dimensional. People attach their ego to particular systems and parties and forget the more basic values that inspired those systems. It's a real shame, because if people looked closer at their political beliefs they'd see that seemingly different ideas actually have a lot in common.
