    I’m more of a libertarian communist, communist economic theory I think is excellent. That doesn’t mean that communist regimes of the past make any sense, because of their authoritarian bend.

    Turns out political opinions arent black and white.

      It sounds like you are a Democratic Socialist from this tidbit.

      I kind of feel the same way. I think the economic theory behind communism/socialism sounds much more beneficial towards our progress as a species and towards a more sustainable existence. I just don’t agree with the authoritarian methods of implementation. I think that if socialism is going to succeed, it will need to come about in a gradual democratic way.

        No, I’m a communist. I don’t believe in monitary commerce. But I’m absolutely with you, with communism also only being able to succeed if it’s democratic.
