I didn't mean to be derogatory at all -- I just mean phrases like 'open society' are used in discussion and argument by a large variety of people with a large variety of beliefs, and it always essentially means 'an implementation of my particular belief system'. Libertarianism provided an excellent example because of how prevalent it is on HN -- so prevalent in fact that I had a real life Libertarian pop out to defend it!
