''Taxation of the wealthy is a bad idea, society would be better off without it.''

2017-07-25 16:52:38 UTC  

Most political compass tests I take place me just left of the center. This one might be a little biased.

2017-07-25 16:52:43 UTC  

Why only taxation of the wealthy?

2017-07-25 16:52:49 UTC  

weird test

2017-07-25 16:53:03 UTC  

Obviously stalinist communism doesn't jive. But what about ideas of sharing stuff?
In a perfect world it works out. But we aren't perfect.

2017-07-25 16:53:16 UTC  

Yeah communism in its purest form is silly.

2017-07-25 16:53:20 UTC  

communism, great idea, wrong species

2017-07-25 16:53:41 UTC  

State central planning in the Soviet Union at least has a rational basis, but laissez-faire capitalism proved to be superior anyway.

2017-07-25 16:53:52 UTC  

Are socialists of the national variety allowed here?

2017-07-25 16:53:58 UTC  

Just needa refinement, a *lot* of refinement.

2017-07-25 16:54:01 UTC  

Communism and anarchism can be achieved in small societies like a tribe, I believe

Kosygin reforms in the 60's increased wages for the average worker by 2.5x naturally (not artificially) but the reforms were quickly reversed by conservative elements within the party.

2017-07-25 16:54:23 UTC  

And the same liberalization efforts made China extremely rich in the 80's under Deng Xiaoping, and continue to this day.

2017-07-25 16:54:28 UTC  

State planning just sucks sorry bois

2017-07-25 16:54:36 UTC  

But I wouldn't mind seeing the day Russia showing America something better. Having learned from the past century.

2017-07-25 16:54:41 UTC  

alright

2017-07-25 16:54:52 UTC  

i guess youre a neo liberal tbhy

2017-07-25 16:55:14 UTC  

I'm not a neo-liberal. Neo-liberalism is pretty disgusting.

2017-07-25 16:55:22 UTC  

Are you talking about me?

2017-07-25 16:55:28 UTC

State planning OUT

2017-07-25 16:56:01 UTC  

The government should exist to protect individual rights and regulate the economy insofar as it protects the individual, both economically and ethically. Nothing more.

2017-07-25 16:56:12 UTC  

**i can fuck whoever i want becauze im female and free,,,,,,,,,,,,**, 😛 😛 😫 😩

2017-07-25 16:56:24 UTC  

Because I don't really subscribe to an ideology too much, I just want things to work out if possible, no matter the methods (within reason).

2017-07-25 16:56:38 UTC  

@carlton™ is not good for imperialism and American economy.

2017-07-25 16:56:39 UTC  
2017-07-25 16:56:55 UTC  

😂 👌

2017-07-25 16:57:02 UTC  

But the American economy is the strongest in the world, with high purchasing power and GDP per capita.

2017-07-25 16:57:18 UTC  

Guess the American economy is secretly shit though.

2017-07-25 16:57:33 UTC  

It's heading the wrong way now

2017-07-25 16:57:37 UTC  

Because it has state planning, huge army and bureaucrats.

2017-07-25 16:57:53 UTC  

The American economy is not a planned economy.

2017-07-25 16:58:00 UTC  

Even calling it a mixed economy would be a huge stretch.

2017-07-25 16:58:14 UTC  

It goes as far as subsidies to farmers and bank bailouts (which I personally disagree with).

2017-07-25 16:58:20 UTC  

But state planning? You're lying to yourself.

2017-07-25 16:58:22 UTC  

It's a shit economy, that's what it is

2017-07-25 16:58:29 UTC  

The Jewish Chinese shadow government of America are going to crash the economy tomorrow

2017-07-25 16:58:37 UTC
