  5.  @undeadblizzard  I think it's you who doesn't know that the left even is. I've interacted with more leftists than you'll probably ever know, so I have a good sense of what they stand for. Oh, you're against censorship? Convince the others. Oh, you don't mind Christians? Convince the others. The left can't exist without authority. Again, since you're the only good guy on the left, maybe try and convince the millions of bad leftists. What oppression thing? You do understand that the left blames Christians for their influence on US politics, right? If you want to talk oppression, we should talk about religious repression in the Soviet Union. "If they deem you an enemy to their ideology you will be purge with the other undesirables" - Again, don't threaten me with a good time. "Also the Gulag were prisons like we have now. Some people in the Gulags were murderers, thieves, and rapist who would have been in jail regardless." - Yes, and also political dissidents. "Direct democracy means we vote on policy not politicians." - Yes, and my point is that policy isn't right just because the majority believes it. What do you think happens to the minority when the majority has power? "We don't have to wait on politicians." - From the standpoint of a representative democracy, especially a constitutional republic, that's actually a terrible thing. When everyone can vote on anything and things start moving too fast to deal with, you get the French Revolution. How many people do you think your direct democracy will behead until people realize that maybe having a buffer between discussing policy and actually putting into practice is needed? "Fascism does always leads to genocide. It is a matter of time" - You keep repeating this. So if Portugal were to be fascists for an extra year, they'd have started the genocide? Against whom? "They might give the murderer a slap on the wrist" - Beria didn't even get a slap in the wrist. You think gulags are good? How about having serial rapists and murderers in the government? That's the left for you. "They might make their work to death in labor camp." - You mean like communists did?

  9.  @tushargaddi6640  The issue is that you started off with a pseudo-intellectual take and now you just seem angry that you're not getting free stuff. The government doesn't make the vast majority of products. So the concept that the state simply altered the deal falls flat on its face right off the bat. It's nonsense. Most people live paycheck to paycheck, independently of economic status. The people who make more money, simply spend more money. This is just careful application of statistics to create a narrative. You missed the point. There is virtually no difference between being chained to debt or to taxation. If you think missing a payment to the bank will end you, try to stop paying taxes. War production. Okay, I didn't know that if you get an engineering degree and end up working at a canning or bottling factory, that's war production. I didn't know that getting a medical degree and working at a clinic was war production. Okay, you have the option of college - pick a degree that makes financial sense, and those "good jobs" will pay your tuition debt easily. A degree is worth it if you plan to work a job that literally requires it. If you take a degree in feminist dance therapy and end up working as a bartender... You just took on negative wealth for a job that didn't require it. I know about Smedley Butler. I'm not defending wars, I just dislike seeing people who apparently forgot their lifestyle requires the consumption of materials and others' labor and complain that there is a cost to it.
