    This illustrates how often libs assume a high degree of agency in the hypothetical situations they propose. There's a high chance that when I'm talking to a liberal they'll inevitably refer to communism as "your system" as in, something I personally cooked up and will somehow singlehandedly implement from a pre-conceived design, becuase that's how they often assume liberal capitalism works. We cooked up a constition based on the best ideas and it's good because everyone agrees to those ideas on an individual level. It wasn't a collaboration and series of compromises between a ruling class interests who only sought to advance their own class, no, it was all good ideas from big brain smart people making good decisionss that did it.

      American politics and history teachers usually have to parrot "The Constitution is a genius and perfect document because it's a Living Document." Then they say with a straight face is that one of the benefits of the Constitution is how hard it is to change it. It means everyone really needs to get along to change it, so only the best changes happen.
