everything else is the same

we obviously don't advocate for computers to rule as in every aspect

good

that would be scary

again, I've seen stuff like that on sci-fi shows

and in movies

and in books

true

but just saying, us socialists don't advocate for things like that

only economics as such should be calculated

I remember watching a SeaQuest episode where the crew found two children raised entirely by computers

they were anti-social, didn't like being touched, cold, had no idea how to interact with other human beings, and played games that had real-life consequences involving giant robots

btw @Donaldus Triumphus im not a fascist anymore

yay!

so remove role

I only belive in a couple of things now

you would never find someone in the socialist bloc who's socially conservative like me

I believe in market socialism, libertarian and democratic socialism now

then you must be a rarity

that's because there are different types of socialist thought

capitalism is a relatively abstract political ideology set in stone

while for socialism, there are many types of socialist thought

no two socialists share the same values

I used to be believe in conservatism and capitalism when I was a right-winger, but those days are gone

what changed?

Well, even as a rightist, I was always critical of capitalism from the start

I used to believe in the more reformist sects of capitalism, to ensure that it benefits all and not just the business owner

but I was always discriminated by my fellow brethren for that

as well as the nonsense of some right-wingers made me question my values

plus, I delved more and studied more about socialist thought

beware that there is a Siren buried in there

she has murdered many on the rocks of reality

siren?

you've never heard of sirens?

the mythical kind?

the ancient Greeks believed in a type of supernatural creature called a Siren, who had a bird's body and a woman's head

they lived on rocky islands in the Aegean Sea, and sung beautiful songs that lured sailors to their doom

the sailors would be mesmerized by the songs, and forget what direction their ships were going, and eventually the ships would be destroyed on the rocks of the islands the sirens lived on

later depictions of Sirens made them resemble mermaids

they still sang that lethal song and lured men to dash their ships on the rocks, though

in the Odyssey, Ulysses had his crew tie him to the main mast of his ship and plug their ears with beeswax so they could steer the ship safely past the islands of the Sirens, and at the same time, he could listen to their song without consequences
