Thank you. I've obviously read too many urban myths about mishaps with nangs.

wow. thats surprisingly honest.

It says sockpuppet alert right under my name, so it's not really a secret.  :lol1:

It's a broad-daylight conspiracy. :zoinks:

It's not actually supposed to be a secret.

I had no idea though for a few months.

I don't think a utopia can be achieved, but I do think we can have a much better system than what we have today. Capitalism has become unsustainable due to automation, exploitation and other factors; a replacement is needed.

I consider myself a democratic socialist and feel this would be a good fit. People still have a democratic process (in fact it would be more democratic as it would also extend to industrial democracy), still have the same freedoms like freedom of expression and speech etc, but a socialist system to ensure public ownership and as much economic fairness as possible. This is in contrast to the likes of Marxist-Lenninism (what was practiced in the Soviet Union), which is authoritarian and undemocratic in nature.

The Soviet Union was state capitalism. As is China.

Correct, but I mean the ideological framework of it was ML. Tankies suck in general.
