      It is kind of an annoyance. I don’t even think communists are all the way wrong tbh. I think there must be a middle path between what we’ve seen historically in communist countries and the slavish capitalism of the United States.

      Thing is that isn’t the sole and single thought in my mind.

      Like, I can see a scientific breakthrough for instance and be amazed and grateful.

        Just in to say, not middle ground, different path. It’s not a 2d spectrum, despite what they teach us

        The way I see it, authoritarianism and centralization are the big bad - capitalism works great with intense competition (it just incentivizes the opposite), and communism doesn’t require central planning

        You have to minimize and have constant churn in every locus of power, or power hungry people will be drawn in and entrench themselves
