Re: Is there a topic you don't bring up on fs because of how controversial your opinion is?

What you said in your post was that you were against people who were "extremely anti-capitalist" because of your first and second hand experience with "communism / socialized systems" specifically with reference to Venezuela and Russia.

With all apologies, I think I would have to have been a fucking mind reader to conclude from that post that you were a socialist. Like, you specifically cited socialist systems as a reason you were against anti-capitalists! That is a statement that is hard to reconcile with socialism, in my mind.

to be clear, when I say "socialist systems" in the second paragraph, I'm pointing towards your use of the phrase "socialized systems", not referring to Venezuela or Soviet Russia, both of which were very deeply flawed societies that no one should look to as a model of rectitude.

hope that was clear but.

Yeah, I'm against that sort of radical bullshit because I realize that taking economic systems to extremes is a fucking terrible idea. I think some degree of socialization is absolutely essential. I think some degree of govt oversight is essential. I also think that a healthy mostly-free market is essential.

Sorry, I've mentioned being a Socialist here before, and my comment was clearly not as clear as I thought it was.

yeahhhhhhh tbh I probably also came off the top way hotter than necessary, due to being frustrated about other stuff, so sorry about that

ahaha, don't worry about it. I figured when I posted in this thread that it might get heated)))

Fully agreed on all of this.

Just out of curiosity, do you have any opinions on the EZLN? To me it feels like the most compelling leftist social system - in some ways, one of the only ones that's genuinely compelling - but I'd be really interested in your thoughts.

Sorry I'm so late replying, this got kind of buried in my inbox.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think I'm familiar enough with them or the situation in Chiapas (or Mexico as a whole) to have any real opinions. From what very little amounts I do know, ia that it's very compelling. Their long-term success suggests that they are doing many things right. But, I don't know enough about it to really be a judge.
