These are my beliefs:

  • Workers should control where they work at and receive proper equity from the value they create.
  • Non-essential industries should not be controlled by the government, essential industries should be, for the most part.
  • People should be able to have some say in who gets into government positions (at a minimum, like Vietnam or Cuba).
  • Social democrats are not the same as fascists.
  • Regular people (non-politicians, pundits and/or wealthy people) who happen to be liberals are likely well-intentioned and could be educated.
  • Military action should not be taken unless you are being directly threatened by another country.

    “Self-defence” was used to justify Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam... the list goes on. If you believe the libs the US has never fought a war of aggression lol

      None of those countries attacked us though. I know full-well that the United States is imperialist.

      All I'm saying is that if one country explicitly attacks another country, the latter has the right to defend themselves.

        The issue is such words can be warped by 911, which they were. Or attack on a consulate/diplomatic mission. It should be much stronger statement, than nebulous threats. China threatens usa. Congo could nationalize coltan and threaten usa production.

          Basically, what I was meaning was a full-on military invasion, not some foreign government nationalizing a business' assets.
