I think that it is cool to see how different people's lives are compared to mine

 @9HTY5FT from California  answered…1yr1Y

Minority Rights should be a thing. White people are not the only parts of the human race anymore. There are so many people of color out there who rarely get any recognition for their ethnicity. It shouldn't make a person uncomfortable to hear other languages being spoken, that's just the beauty of diversity in the U.S.

 @9HVBSBG from New York  answered…1yr1Y

 @9HT7PF6 from Maine  answered…1yr1Y

I don’t mind at all. This is likely because I don’t believe other people communicating with each other is my problem.

 @9HVWXWB from Ohio  answered…1yr1Y

I find it interesting to hear the variety in speech when heard in public, but if I were in a small group of people and two of them started communicatng in a language I didnt understand I would certainly feel left out.

 @9HW4NP7 from Missouri  agreed…1yr1Y

i would also feel left out but it would also be interesting and fun to figure out what is being said

 @9HW496G from Wisconsin  agreed…1yr1Y

I think that it's fine when I hear people speaking a different language in public I don't really mind it but I think that its kind of messed up to leave someone out and start speaking another language that they don't know.

 @9HZBX5D  from California  answered…1yr1Y

I feel confused honestly but I wish I could understand them or their language, I think other languages are beautiful and the us doesn't teach us of hardly any language.

 @9J2FS2Q from Oregon  agreed…1yr1Y

other languages that I don't know are intriguing and I wish that the US taught more foreign languages.

 @9J2FXYXRepublican from Florida  agreed…1yr1Y

I believe we are not educated enougt about other countries and their cultures such as the languages they speak. Most foreign countries the students their know english because the schools their teach them more. While I feel kids here do not.

 @9J2FDWWIndependent from California  agreed…1yr1Y

Learning how to speak different languages would be beautiful in ways where you would be able to communicate with others who dont speak english and being bilingual or know more than two languages means that there is also more job opportunites.

 @9HW468S from Tennessee  answered…1yr1Y

Curious about what they are saying because i dont know the language and i think different languages are interesting

 @9HW6W82  from California  agreed…1yr1Y

I think we should commit to learning different languages in a diverse nation we are bound to find people of other races and ethnicities everywhere so why should we look at them any different.

 @9HXNXLL from Minnesota  agreed…1yr1Y

It would be nice to hear people from different countries to speak different languages because is proves that a lot of people want to be in the US.

 @9HW8QWGIndependent from Tennessee  agreed…1yr1Y

Since english is the most popular language in America it is somewhat rare to hear a different language. Hearing a different language interests me because it is difficult to comprehend that they know that language as I know english.

 @9HXGQJ4 from Florida  agreed…1yr1Y

There are no ways to strengthen the reasoning of this except for the fact that I am sure many people have thought the same way.

 @9HXCHSDPeace and Freedomanswered…1yr1Y

I don't really care, people can speak what ever language that they want.

 @9HY945X from Arizona  agreed…1yr1Y

I think if you come from a family that speaks a different language you should be able to speak the language that makes you most comfortable.

 @9HY8K56 from Montana  disagreed…1yr1Y

This is America! We speak English in this country. If people are going to become citizens here I believe they should have to learn how to speak English. We as Americans should not have to adapt and learn their language.

 @9HYG5WC from California  agreed…1yr1Y

I don't mind if people speak different languages who am I to say whether people should talk a certain way?
People should learn how to respect it since that's how they were raised by learning and speaking their native language.

 @9HY9MLJ from Tennessee  agreed…1yr1Y

Language changes throughout our history. There's been Old English, Middle English, and New Modern English. There's no legitimate reason to be upset that someone speaks a different language than you, when our language will probably look like gibberish a thousand years into the future.

 @9HVKM9N from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

 @9K4WCL4 from Colorado  answered…1yr1Y

I feel like they shouldn’t have citizenship until they are fluent in English or whatever language is the country’s language

 @9KBP4BZ from Tennessee  disagreed…1yr1Y

They don't have to immediately know the language to live there, the requirement for citizenship has nothing to do with language since that can be taught. Along with that you can live somewhere without knowing the language perfectly fine, we have modern technology for these things.

 @9K9G6TXWomen’s Equality from Iowa  disagreed…1yr1Y

The United States has no national language and we are a country built on immigration. Not even English speaking people are native to the United States, and just because it is the most spoken language in the United States does not mean that it is the only correct one.

 @9K5J2FB from Pennsylvania  disagreed…1yr1Y

That Amarica is a mixing pot of cultures and should be able to speak their language, thats also racist

 @9K5HY8SDemocrat from Arizona  disagreed…1yr1Y

That is their culture and they should be able to practice it if they would like. Citizenship does not depend on if they want to learn English,

 @9HZ7PRW from Oregon  answered…1yr1Y

I do not care whether individuals speak a different language than me. We all come from different backgrounds and we can't be expected to all be the same.

 @9J4PZXF from Louisiana  agreed…1yr1Y

There are different languages with different cultures. Not everyone is expected to be the same or grow up the same.

 @9J2DTBX from Minnesota  answered…1yr1Y

I don't think much about it, they either grew up speaking that language or learned it to speak with other people, and they have the right to express themselves in any way they please as long as they aren't actively harming or threatening the safety of other people.

 @9J6C2ZP from Nevada  agreed…1yr1Y

it is regarded as impolite and improper and even rude to speak a language others who may hear and not understand ...

 @9J4PSNSSocialist from California  agreed…1yr1Y

I think speaking multiple langueges should be celebrated not hidden. Being in a multicultural state it should be normalized

 @9HXF394 from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I don't feel anyway because I know that not everyone is fluent in English and I also know how to mind my business.

 @9HY8ZP7 from Tennessee  agreed…1yr1Y

It is 2024 America, there are plenty of immigrants moving to this country everyday who do not yet speak English, or have a hard time learning it. Not only, that I have taken Spanish for the last 5 years, and it has put me in the shoes of those who are trying to learn English quickly.

 @9HY93LCWomen’s Equality from Georgia  agreed…1yr1Y

A large portion of the United States is not native to the U.S. and also has different familial backgrounds. It is not expected and should not be expected for everyone to speak English.

 @9HTW68N answered…1yr1Y

When I hear languages I don't understand I wonder what is being said.

 @9HW2D6MPeace and Freedom from South Carolina  agreed…1yr1Y

I mean of course i don't know what they're saying but doesn't mean I don't want them here, I'm just nosy

 @9HW3W4Q from Alabama  agreed…1yr1Y

Because sometimes theirs language that people would like understand because you don't know if they are talking about you.

 @9HW3BTK from Virginia  disagreed…1yr1Y

i have family that speaks another language and they like it when they are able to talk to other people in a foreign country and normally its very bland topics. so i dont care what other people are saying.

 @9J7SKHM from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

The United States has an absolutely atrocious record when it comes to minority rights, and it is the duty of all of us to do better every single day until the inequities brought about by that record have been washed away.

  @ScottK1232  from Indiana  disagreed…1yr1Y

I never did any atrocities against minorities, and therefore have no duty to atone for someone else's sins. Additionally many other countries have had far worse records, and yet no one talks about them.

 @9JBBN39  from Florida  agreed…1yr1Y

Considering that racial and sexual minorities didn’t get the rights that others had until the last 75 years, I think that’s enough evidence.

 @9JB9PWC from Pennsylvania  agreed…1yr1Y

While not a direct answer to the question, it gets to the bias the question seeks to uncover: do people feel uncomfortable hearing foreign languages. We do have a duty to be inclusive, and honor the multicultural ideals of our nation.

 @9J97SXZ from Texas  disagreed…1yr1Y

After visiting 3rd world nations on 3 separate continents, it is clear that minorities are treated extraordinarily better here than in most corners of the world. My best argument is my first hand experience. Also, my sons are mixed race and it is the minorities that treat them badly not the majority.

 @9JZ8Y9TRepublican from Florida  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that if they came to america and have been here for over a year they have had the opportunity to learn english and there is no reason they shouldn't have.

 @9JZG8XZ from Kentucky  disagreed…1yr1Y

America has not legal, regard for learning English. America only goal is to create more tax payers to help run the system

 @9K4V45J from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

Languages should not be suppressed by people who think they are superior because they speak English.

 @9JZNFL6from Montana  disagreed…1yr1Y

Speaking another language doesn’t stop a person from learning English. It’s good to maintain your culture.

 @9JZGLJT from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

It's their right to speak whatever language they wish. I don't know the circumstances of their situation.

 @9HW4656 from South Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

I don't really care honestly because I don't always want to know what people are saying

 @9HX7SJT from Michigan  disagreed…1yr1Y

I disagree, I feel interested in what language they are speaking because you don't hear people speaking other languages.

 @9HZ7KYX from South Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

I don't have a problem with people living with me in my country who are from another country. In fact, I think it's cool when someone is bringing their culture and language to another place.

 @9J3NPNTLibertarian from New Jersey  agreed…1yr1Y

Being military, I see a wide variety of cultures compared to where i was raised and it wasn't until I left home did I realize how diverse and unique the country is. Having a diverse population and diverse cultures shows just how diverse we really are.

 @9HXNF86 from California  answered…1yr1Y

I don't mind it at all. It would be the same if we spoke English in Japan or somewhere else.

 @9HVR2F9 from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

I feel interested because they are part of an entirely different culture and must think about the world from a different perspective.

 @9HXJ56X from Georgia  agreed…1yr1Y

i dont expect everyone to speak english because it is only one out of thousand of languages in this world.

 @9HWYKQP from Tennessee  answered…1yr1Y

I wish I knew other languages. Humans are interesting and beautiful creations, why wouldn’t we embrace other cultures?

 @9J28Z7R  from California  agreed…1yr1Y

Why should there be only one language? There are so many different cultures that can expand our minds and make us as people more open-minded and willing to work with others. We share the world and the U.S. isn't just for English speaking people. People come here to have a better life or a different environment.

 @9HXWXQ3 from Florida  agreed…1yr1Y

As stated previously, sometimes it can feel challenging only knowing one language. Especially, since English does not feel as dominant in the United States.

 @9HXKLQM from Washington  agreed…1yr1Y

i think its great that people know other languages and they should not be treated differently because you feel entitled to know what theyre talking about.

 @9HTFWHX from Michigan  answered…1yr1Y

I feel happy that I’m in a country where I’m able to hear another language.

 @9HWWN7H from New Jersey  disagreed…1yr1Y

English is what we speak in America. I don’t care if people want to speak their native tongue in their homes but in business and public communications we should only use English

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…1yr1Y

We should at least attempt to accommodate those with more common and different languages such as Spanish and Chinese.

 @9HXP929 from Texas  agreed…1yr1Y

I do think they need to learn English since English is our nations primary language. But I do still encourage them to speak their language! America is a country of different cultures and I embrace that!

 @9HWWGJH from North Carolina  agreed…1yr1Y

The language of business is English and should remain so, based on culture. It is poignant, however, that there never has been a legally mandated language in the United States. My family moved here from Italy and Ireland and forced themselves to learn English to be successful, but they did not have to.

 @7PTCG38Democrat  from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that some groups of people don't feel the need that they need to assimilate to the predominant language of our country, and it makes me feel somewhat resentful because older groups of immigrants always made the effort to do so and learn English

 @9HX64DGGreen from New York  disagreed…1yr1Y

People are entitled to speak whatever language they please. People should stay connected with the parts of their culture they retained when coming to America. You are not entitled to know everything someone is saying. This is a land of diversity, and that includes knowing different languages.

 @7PTCG38Democrat  from Wisconsin  commented…1yr1Y

All I can say is that when my ancestors arrived in this country in the late 1800's from Poland, Hungary and Croatia, they made sure to develop a working command of English as soon as possible, and they always used it in public. They only used their native language when communicating amongst themselves. And I agree with that. I'm liberal on most issues but not this one.

 @9TPBPR8Democrat from Nebraska  disagreed…7mos7MO

That’s not necessarily true in my mind, I’ve met many older immigrants who also don’t know English very well. I also just don’t think it’s 100% that important that we all speak the same language, and after a few generations, their kids will most likely know English fluently because of school and education.

 @9HX5SJ8Socialist from Georgia  disagreed…1yr1Y

America is built off of immigration. Not only this, just because people are speaking their native languages- it doesn't mean that they don't know English. (Not that it matters.) Peoples lives are their own, forcing people to change the language they speak is inherently against the constitution.

 @9HX5LGT from Iowa  disagreed…1yr1Y

The U.S. has always been a place of immigration, English isn't even the original language of the land. With no official language, I believe it should be more commonplace for everyone to learn multiple languages.

 @9HXCRQ9 from Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

I care a little bit everyone has their language but when that’s all you hear in America it’s weird because we speak English here

 @9HXW7QS  from Massachusetts  disagreed…1yr1Y

There is no official language in this country people can speak whatever they want, the majority of the world is at least bilingual we as Americans are ignorant for only speaking one language

 @9HXG89Q from Texas  disagreed…1yr1Y

Dude... This is just straight up racist and xenophobic. This answer might as well have read, "I don't like it if it isn't white, anglosaxon, protestant and 'MURICAN.

America is a nation of immigrants. The fact that English is a dominant language in America is basically random chance. It could have been (and was almost) SPANISH, FRENCH or... one of the MANY Native American languages.

 @9HXG2NVDemocrat from Maryland  disagreed…1yr1Y

America is a melting pot. We are meant to accept those different from us. Unless we are Native American, we are all foreigners.

 @9HXF553disagreed…1yr1Y

i think america is a country that has the resources to aid everyone no matter their spoken language. i think it's disrepectful to say that another person's sopken language is weird, on the basis that many americans speak english in other foreign countries, and we have the resources to understand and communicate with others.

 @9HXB7VWfrom Guam  answered…1yr1Y

I dont feel weird or anything at all. I wouldn't mind too much if I heard lots of people speaking a different language.

 @9HYZL8YDemocrat from Wisconsin  agreed…1yr1Y

Everyone is a different race everyone has different ethnicity and depending on the person and where they were born they are going to speak different languages.

 @9HXMC4D from California  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree with this because some people feel more comfortable speaking a different language then what I speak.

 @9HXL6NG from North Carolina  agreed…1yr1Y

Why does it matter if I understand another language or not, I’m not worried about what they’re talking about.

 @9HXKDMW from Georgia  agreed…1yr1Y

Other languages are spoken all around, people shouldn't need to speak English everywhere especially if they are more comfortable speaking there native language.

 @9HTLZSY from Iowa  answered…1yr1Y

I feel fine, there is more than one language in the world, you can't get rid of it just because you are in a different country.

 @9HXN495Democrat from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

I find it interesting hearing different languages to remain in touch with roots and the comfortability to share diversity of languages in public. I wish I knew more to understand or to feel included as well if I'm apart of the conversation but I do not mind.

 @9HZ4L4Q from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

doesn't make me feel any different I have no problem with it cause if I was in another country i would do the same thing so who am I to judge

 @9HZCW63 from California  agreed…1yr1Y

America has a lot of people from different countries that come from different countries and as someone who is a Spanish speaker it doesn't bother me if someone speaks a different language.

 @9HXKNB8Independent from New York  answered…1yr1Y

I feel normal, this is a multiethnic country so it’s normal to hear different languages and it is also interesting

 @9HYHG4P from Maryland  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that the people speaking these languages are no different from me, they simple don't use the same way of speaking. In fact, if they are bilingual or even speak more than two languages (even if one of those is not English), they demonstrate a capacity to learn and expand their communication skills.

 @9HYV2HW  from Texas  agreed…1yr1Y

Often when watching a film in a foreign language, the range of emotions and goals expressed by the characters feels "human" to the viewer, not limited to any specific language, nationality, or culture. Ex. Parents love and want to protect their kids, young couples fall in love, a sports victory is a triumph.

 @9HZ2SX3 from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

I think its beautiful that there's other languages, when i hear people speaking a different language it just kind of brings me out of my own world, it shows that theres different religions that the world isn't a small place. It shows that the world is vast and that there is so much to learn.

 @9HY9CC7 from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

I think it is cool we are such a diverse country. I will admit that sometimes I might get frustrated with I have trouble understanding another language or accent but at the end of the day those people don't do anything wrong and it just makes us a better country for having so many different ethnicities, viewpoints, and government standpoints.

 @9HYTZRY  from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

I love different languages and cultures. I think it would be sad to live in a homogeneous world. We need to accept others and learn to live as communities with understanding. The human race is diverse, learning and accepting others makes us more humane and we can gain rich experiences.

Knowledge is power and being able to communicate in many different forms gives you the ability to have more knowledge and receive more information.

As someone who grew up with bilingual parents, I’ve always been spoken to in two different languages. I’ve also grew up in a very multicultural place where everyone is comfortable in speaking their own language, so I don’t really mind.

Dear lord you act surprised when being called a bigot and then spout this utter bull.

That's a mouthful of fallacies. Let's examine them. "spout this utter bull." That's begging the question because the notion that it is utter bull has not yet been logically established, indeed that's the very point in question. "You assume the intention gay people as if you understand them in the slightest."

 @9CJ6CB61Y

Ohoh this is MY territory. Socialism itself runs off of communal, public, or social ownership of the means of production, and Marxist theory itself merely sees government as a tool to make it work overtime, gradually shrinking as the economy changes. Marx himself WAS a libertarian socialist, an extremely libertarian one at that, and a lot of his models and theories were the building blocks for working nations. The constant misinformed narrative of socialism as authoritarian comes from those nations centralizing and imbuing power into the government to handle the economic issues that OTHER nat…  Read more

YOUR ideology killed one hundred million people in the sense that the SOCIALIST USSR under Lenin & Stalin had one hundred million people worked to death or executed. Preventable starvation is the fault of decolonisation in Africa, not to mention socialist policies, police killings that are unjustified amount to just a couple per year (hardly twenty million, and Alcatraz and Guantanamo are state-funded and unconstitutional, making them anti-free-market. I in fact opposed the Bush Administration's Iraq policies of war, and imprisonment.

 @9CJ6CB61Y

That doesn’t change what happened in the name of your economic and political system, the same way as it doesn’t for socialism, the deaths overall tallied do lean STRONGLY towards capitalism being the greater killer, from the Indian genocides, to the colonization and forced warfare of the entire planet, the brutal attacks against other capitalist countries, the numbers stack dramatically overtime, if the government actions in capitalism don’t apply to the statistics in my argument, then what happens outside of government interference doesn’t pertain to it either.

Anarchism, Constitution and Decentralization

@P0llingPlaceMussel7MO

Anarchism is about eliminating centralized authority.

Communities should rely on decentralized, voluntary associations to resolve conflicts and protect rights. Without centralized power, individuals and groups would be incentivized to cooperate and create mutual aid networks, fostering a culture of respect and collective responsibility.

For example, during the Spanish Revolution of 1936, many communities in Catalonia and Aragon successfully implemented systems of direct democracy and collective ownership. These communities managed to function without a central government, relying instead on…  Read more

@CommonMan7MO

So what I mean is, what if there is a deep conflict between the majority and the minority in that direct democratic ‘voluntary association’? In modern democracy, the majority can prevent excessive oppression of the minority by guaranteeing minimum human rights through law. However, since there is no such law in anarchism, wouldn't the majority be able to oppress the minority if they wish?

@P0llingPlaceMussel7MO

The idea is to prevent any one group from accumulating too much power. In theory, this structure would stop the majority from having the power or ability to oppress the minority.

An example is the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. They’ve created a system of autonomous governance where decisions are made collectively through consensus, ensuring that minority voices are heard and respected. This decentralized approach spreads power across various local councils, reducing the risk of any single group dominating.

Key here is the culture of mutual respect and solidarity fostered withi…  Read more

Cultural Morality

The conversation involves a debate on the morality of different cultures, comparing Western Christian cultures with American Indian and African Zulu cultures, and discussing historical atrocities.

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

National Conservatism. National Conservatism is a political ideology that emphasizes the preservation and promotion of national interests and cultural identity …

 @Patriot-#17768MO

Some cultures are objectively worse than others, such as the cultures of the American Indians and the African Zulus. The American Indians, for example, hacked women and children to death in front of their husbands and fathers, drank their blood, and proudly displayed their scalps, which they viciously cut off with their tomahawks. The African Zulus were always at war with each other and slaughtered entire villages, burning their victims alive and then eating them. Those cultures were objectively savage and barbaric cultures. Western Christian cultures were objectively far, far better and more civilised.

@PragmaticGecko8MO

I just gave examples that prove they were just as barbaric. Now, I don’t even have to prove that Christians cultures have killed more than Native American and African Zulu cultures because it’s such an obvious objective historical fact. You are being intellectually dishonest if you can’t admit that.

 @Patriot-#17768MO

But why did they war with the Indians and Zulus? Because they did this hellish demonic barbaric things to women and children – because they burnt, they raped, the privileged, they mutilated, they cannibalised, they drank blood. Resorting to name-calling doesn't change any of that. Just because someone points out facts inconvenient to the narrative you've received all your life and embarrassing to your positions does not make him "intellectually dishonest." I made points, you made points, this is how debates work. So let's drop the fallacies, drop the name-calling, and resolve this issue in a civilised manner. I would love it if you actually addressed what I had to say, but I'm pretty sure you're an AI bot (no offence if you aren't) so I guess it's not that important...

 @Renaldo-Moon5MO

There's a clear and obvious difference here.

Acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harmful and will not turn kids gay.

However porn is harmful and will contribute to an already out of control problem.

Debating Darwinism and Religion

The conversation involves a debate on whether Darwinism can be considered a religion, with discussions on the nature of scientific proof, particularly regarding the Big Bang and evolution.

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

Evangelicalism. Evangelicalism is a global, trans-denominational movement within Protestant Christianity that maintains the belief that the essence of the Gospe…

Then we need to remove the religion of Darwinianism from school as well

 @9CJ6CB61Y

For the Big Bang, there’s the observable fact that the universe itself is expanding, as differences between galaxies and other galaxies has been increasing via some unknown force, often considered to be the expansion of the universe aided by dark energy pushing things apart. There’s also the stretching of light between different galaxies when it reaches us. The light, though it’s from different times, doesn’t match to it’s original distance, and stretches in weird ways to sort of give us glimpses of different times in space at the same time, showing that these…  Read more

Which, in and of itself, proves absolutely nothing. The fact that the universe is expanding which creationist welcome and accept, is not proof that with zero fuel, oxygen, heat, and even space in which to exist, an explosion of absolutely nothing created all the matter in the universe, a hypothetical event that would…  Read more

The Federal Government Shouldn't Ever Regulate Any Private Business or Organisation for Any Reason

Period.

 @9CJ6CB61Y

That’s where the two are different, in an individual level, they seem fine, but what the businesses do to get money is where the problems start. Businesses buy up other businesses, slowing competition, then increase prices and eventually leave you with nowhere else to go. That’s the end result of the profit motive of businesses left unregulated. Businesses don’t have to force you, they just have to limit your options and raise the price bar while lobbying government to make their profiteering easier. The citizens themselves might not suffer from the chains of oppression, but…  Read more

 @Patriot-#17761Y

If businesses buying up other businesses increased prices, why does history tell such a different story? Why did John David Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust shrink prices in the oil industry down from 58 cents a gallon before they achieved their monopoly, to 8 cents a gallon afterword, without any government incentives or price-fixing? Why did he steadfastly feel convicted that "the common man must have oil, and he must have it CHEAP"? And why did prices skyrocket when the company was broken up by the federal government?

Why did prices consistently fall, in spite of inflation,…  Read more

Defining Economic Liberty

The following is a conversation between 2 users about differing interpretations of 'economic liberty' and its association with left vs right ideologies, highlighting the complexity of political labels.

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

Secularism. Secularism is a political ideology that advocates for the separation of religious institutions from the state. This ideology emphasizes the need for…

 @VulcanMan61Y

How are you defining "left" vs "right"..? And is your argument solely using an economic scale? If someone was an economic centrist, but was socially and politically far-right, would you still consider them "moderate but not right-wing"? What exactly are you basing your "right-wing" vs "left-wing" positioning on?

Additionally, what do you consider "economic liberty"? Because I would argue that right-wing economics are NOT in favor of economic liberty, since capitalism (a fundamentally right-wing economic system) has an inherent and…  Read more

 @Patriot-#17761Y

but you did say: "Right-wing people support economic liberty but are in general more willing to see the government spy on its civilians via unconstitutional surveillance, and some rightists subscribe to an interventionist foreign police. Left-wing people support economic tyranny with a massive regulatory bureaucracy but are in general less willing to see the government spy on its civilians, and originally many supported a policy of peace and non-intervention, though sadly this has wavered away in recent years, especially under the current warmongering occupant of the White House..."…  Read more

 @VulcanMan61Y

I have explained to you what I meant by "economic liberty" so there's no fallacy there, as I have defined my terms and you have defined yours. The true debate should be over why we believe economic liberty is what it is.

Yes that is quite literally the entire point I have been trying to make: our own interpretations of "economic liberty" are entirely subjective, and even largely antithetical to each other's, hence why it is not a useful term to claim categorizes left and right-wing ideological thought. We could both have logically sound reasons as to why we believ…  Read more

Socialism vs. Communism

The conversation revolves around the distinctions between socialism and communism, with a focus on the historical implementations and theoretical differences of each ideology.

Which political ideology do you most identify with?

Scientific Socialism. Scientific Socialism is a term coined by Friedrich Engels, a German philosopher, social scientist, and journalist, to distinguish his and …

@CommonMan7MO

Most socialist countries established so far were communist countries. However, socialism is not limited to communism. Therefore, non-communist socialism has actually not even been tested yet.

 @Patriot-#17767MO

"Communism" and "Marxism" are the same thing. Marx is responsible for Communism.

@CommonMan7MO

So, what I mean is communism is same to Marxism, but socialism is not. In here, the socialism doesn't mean previous step of communism as Marx said. It just means all ideology that agree with socialization of capital

 @Renaldo-Moon6MO

Do you have any proof at all that drag queens are pedophiles? Some statistics perhaps? A study?

No?

Oh, well. Then maybe you should shut up and stop being a bigot.

 @solo-von-kickpaw5MO

 @Renaldo-Moon5MO

Renaldo Moon is a character from a movie I like. I like the character a lot, so I decided to use it.
