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.
Not having entertainment subsidised and administrated at a fairly high level basically ensures the destruction of large sections of the arts. (pretty much all professional performing arts, ballet, classical music etc). Even if they're constantly sold out, they've never turned a profit.
I think there's a distinction between subsidizing art and preventing the artists from having autonomy.
