Dude, it’s your ball. Take it and go if you’re upset.

That’s lame AF.

In an enlightened society, each man or woman would govern himself or herself.

And from what I’ve seen in my lifetime and in the history of the world it’s almost unavoidable.

To quote you: “You will not just make things like jealousy, violent tendencies, the need to be controlled, and people fearing those different from them magically disappear.”

Please point to the words ‘violent mental illness’ in your original post. Now take your yellow highlighter pen and color it on your screen. Actually, use a Sharpie - what the hell. Maybe next time you’ll see it and remember not to speak out of turn.

If you mean to say that ‘violent tendencies’ is necessarily equivalent to ‘violent mental illness’, I would counter that they are two different things. I would say that people in the armed forces have violent tendencies. Police officers have violent tendencies. But violent mental illness is a completely different thing. Violent mental illness implies that the violence is not a rational response to the situation at hand.

So, sorry I took away your little 'Gotcha!" moment.

Does anybody else find it interesting that the name Nazi referred to national socialists? Now apply that to this discussion.

Please stop talking about there being “a political compass” for crying out loud!

Education?

Well, I mean, we are capital in a sense…

However, revolution is a form of democracy. Direct action by the People.

Knowingly voting for a fascist. That’s interesting. You’re different.

Love it! 😅😅

In order not to be confounded with economic socialists, who the right accuses of wanting everything for free at the expense of others, I always inform people that I am a Nathan J. Robinson socialist.

But which socialism? The economic socialism that those on the right hate, or the true social Socialism of which so many enjoy the fruits?

When are we going to start PUBLICLY calling out those on the right who accepted COVID stimulus checks from the government? This was a blatantly socialist program, bigger than the “Obamaphones” even (before you go off on me for citing Obamaphones, keep in mind that I believe a smartphone with service is a human right.) we’ve got all these people walking around from the right to talk about how much they hate socialism but that 3,200 seemed to come in pretty handy for most of them.
