I was talking about this with my wife. I'd live in a socialist or communist run government, at least the one they fantasize about, but I would never live long enough to see it enacted, as leftists envision.
So in my mind I have two choices that aren't exactly mutually exclusive:
1.) Openly support communism without thought about what the final outcome of that may actually be because I won't be alive to guide it (as if I'd have much say).
2.) Just keep working to make the world I live in better
Both are fine options and I can do both but they would have me chose the former and exclude the latter.
They're the same picture.
Working to make the world you live in better even though you don't know what the final outcome of that work may actually be?
You're just more confident than I am that liberalism doesn't end poorly
I know surefire improvements we can make to the way things are now better. I don't trust anyone with the authority required to force socialism/communism on a hostile populace.
So, I'm actually quite reasoned if you were honest with yourself.
Yea, me too.
