Hey, Commies And Nazis

[Anglo-Celtic]

I got your attention. If you're on the Left, what are your "rightist" views? If you're on the Right, what are your "leftist" views? Surely, we're not really the Bloods and the Crips.
Edited: My "Leftist" Beliefs:
.Affirmative Action was fair for a while.
.Gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples.
.Capital punishment should be banned.
.Vice should be legal for adults.

I'm neither but capital punishment should not be banned, it's called karma. As for the others I don't really care.

Those are my "leftist" beliefs. Karma doesn't exist in this world, by the way.

"Left", socialist-cooperativist views on the economy.
Large and strategically important industries and means of production belong to the public sector, while small and medium-sized businesses are in private hands (with a predominance of artels) while maintaining competition at this level.
Socially "right" and moderately conservative.
On the Stalinist, not a classic- or neo-Marxist side, shortly speaking.

It's hard to not support workers holding majority stock in their own corporations here while they also take votes on the actions that will most impact them. As shareholders, they would have a say in their own destiny, but this would not be at the point of a government gun.

a. Agreed
b. They should, but it all stops at wanting to force the reading of drag queen story hour on our kiddos.
c. Hmmm, disagree. Some crimes are simply too unforgivable, and the culprits of such should be removed from society on a more permanent basis. Although lately I have been inclining more and more to using them as slave labor, so there is that.
d. Agreed as long as said vices don't end up provoking collateral damage.

Those were my beliefs, and I wanted to know what other people's beliefs on other issues were. I get where you're coming from on the things in your post, though. We've lost the ability to look at the merits of views from people who don't agree with us, as well as understanding that they often have those views because they think that they're fair and just, just like we do with our own views. For example, I understand the realistic views of individuals who are pro death penalty, and that goes quadruple for those whose lives were impacted by murderers (such as my family).

Agree with all the above.

Agree with all the above.

Thanks, but I wanted to know what your "rightist" views were. Who's on first; no, who's on second.

- I actually believe that small businesspeople and low-to-medium income workers should pay less tax and enjoy more of the fruits of their own labour. (Hence why I advocate the Singapore model - State ownership replaces taxation as the main source of State revenue).

- I actually believe that race and gender are objective realities. (Though I must emphasise that racial and gender HIERARCHIES have no scientific basis at all).

- I support nuclear energy, not least to wean us off fossil fuels emanating from various dictatorships.
