I think a lot of people are confusing some terms here, hence I said "legalizing morality" is sort of misleading title. Terms
morality and ethics are very closely related to each other, but both of them are based on what we humans "feel" and that isn't really truly universal. Morality of majority is pretty much the same thing as ethics.

Who said anything about communism, I'm talking about the opposite of communism: liberty, freedom, personal responsibility, voluntary association, real free markets (not the corporatist system we have today),...

Well that was just one example, and true communism actually aims to some of those goals, but so does democracy too, and anarchy... although in practice aiming for something isn't same thing as being able to get there. I'm just wondering what would be better system then than a central goverment that has more power than regular people. After all they're chosen by common people to present themselves and there are laws that restrict their power, so common people do have some power still, or at least should have.
