I really am curious what fundamental changes are necessary, and the picture of the world you would wish to create?
i dont know where this crazy train is taking us.
as someone on the right, my concerns with the left being the conductor is that its seems like the track isnt even built.
The most important thing to the left is freedom.
The difference betwen the left and the right is actual vs potential freedom.
The right wants to maximize potential freedom. They want you to be able to theoretically do things. Like, if you have the money, you can say whatever you want on whatever outlet you want. You should be theoretically able to broadcast your message in any way you see fit, even if most access to this will only be available to a small few who can actually buy the air time and manipulate the message as they see fit.
The left wants to maximize actual freedom. It doesn't matter if you could potentially buy all the speech you want, if it's only available to an incredibly small few, then those small few will dominate the message.
The right wants you to potentially be able to buy healthcare if you are productive enough, and potentially be able to buy a house, and potentially be able to live a good life. It doesn't matter if that's only realistically avaiable to an increasingly small fraction of the population, as long as the potential is there, that is sufficient.
The left wants you to actually be able to live a good life regardless of circumstance. It is important that everybody have realistic access to the things required to live a good life, even if that comes at the expense of a small portion's theoretical freedom to infinitely merge their company. Everybody should have healthcare, not just potentially be able to access healthcare.
Does that give you a good foundation as to the world I wish to create?
