I still wonder about the people who double down on communism... and not even like me when I was younger where I got (not the full extent, but got) that the soviet union and such were awful, but just thought that maybe with less terrible people at the helm it could work (later realizing that these kind of things always have power hungry people rise to the top) Anyway, no I just don't get the "well see, you've admitted your great grandpa owned a chicken, sounds like he deserved to die" people... like the fuck is there even to gain here about being smug while dying on a particularly stupid hill?

#I'm not even gonna try and define what I am with this stuff #cause see; everyone's decided that these terms have super solid cut and dry definitions #when it's like man... people obviously use the same terms to describe wildly different things #you're just being pig headed if you don't accept that and work off what they're saying rather than latching onto a single word #but pig headed they be; so no tossing out single words to latch on to #So what I think is that some level of welfare is both good and also required #and that currency is one of the more effective ways to distribute resources and labor without a whole lot of headache #I want social programs; and if your no details given ask me if I want more or less I'm gonna lean towards more #because apart from the humanitarian point of view; from and economic point of view I think poor people spend money cause they need to #so I think giving benefits; giving health insurance; giving a universal basic income #all end up being good ways to slush money through the system; because things like hospitals benefit from steady use #you want people to have access to them; because that's how they continue to operate #and I think that theft or not taxes are a fact; and I'd rather they go to shit like that #(and I still say senators and the house should only have the healthcare and pay they'd normally qualify for)#(see how long medicaid for all takes to pass if they don't get special insurance; ya dig?)#so that's my point of view; businesses are good; regulation is good; welfare is good; government accountability and transparency are good #I have some terms I could mash together to kinda describe it; but I won't cause that's a fool's errand #so you assign whatever term you want for that in your head; I ain't naming it #but tankies are dumb as shit; I'll say that much; just kinda cruel for the sake of getting a chance to be the one being cruel
