"To support communism is to be econimically illiterate."
I like that. Simplifies things. I noticed most of these commie wannabes on my forums are young as hell, clearly niave & idealistic, and completely ignorant on the topics of economics & human nature.
Also, thanks for not being a fucking commie, I'm getting more than a little sick of them on this site. Fucking hounds.
This particular forum isn't even about communism, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm a Libertarian of not damnit. People just gotta invade every space they can like cockroaches or termites and spread their insanity. I don't want any damn part of it.
Anyway I've allowed myself to be lumped in with conservatives up until recently. I was apolitical for the longest time, fucking hate politics, probably would have been right smack dab in the middle. But as I explore the world of politics I realize I "lean Right" and have some views that aren't necessarily compatible with conservative views. They were just the closest I could find to what I believe. Which I'm still refining but I have a general idea.
The biggest thing is I believe in "insanely" small government. The way our government is now is NOT how the Founding Fathers intended it. Its too damn big & all powerful, its reach too damn far. They have their hands in every aspect of our lives and only hunger for more control and more power. Its disgusting and dangerous. I've felt the sting of that & the rampant corruption multiples times in my life already and I'm only going on 30.
Even beyond the corruption & partisan bullshit, even just the sheer amount of laws we have is ASININE. No citizen or even lawyer, cop, or public elected representative can know all of them. That in itself is a huge problem.
I remember the first time I discussed building a fence around our yard. I was going over the expenses of building it and it was brought to my attention that I would have to pay for a permit to build on "my own" land and it would have to be built within the town's standards. I was flabbergasted. Like wut 👀. Same goes for when I wanted to build a playhouse for my kiddos.
When the government has that much reach, its gone too goddamn far.
Hell I'm currently locked in battle with the courts over my right to homeschool as I see fit. I am well within the state laws and yet the prevailing attitude is "We need to reach our hands into your home to 'make sure' you're doing what WE think you should be doing and if not, we have forcefully gained (over time) the 'right' to take your parental rights away and decide for ourselves." - Excuse the fuck me.
Our laziness has allowed our government to get to the point where they have pretty much absolute power over the people. Its fucked up.
