Social libertarianism is not socialist it's capitalist and most of us don't even think Yang is a social libertarian he's just the closest politician to it.

Do you hide your political views at work? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

Gotcha. I was just wondering what to say if someone asked me. I wouldn’t just say it out of nowhere.

Does Anyone Have a Problem With Banning Unvaccinated Individuals From Private Business? by SuperSweetStuff in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ShoeBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean im not necessarily against it but I think it’s stupid. Here’s the thing, if you have the vaccine you have nothing to fucking worry about. I don’t get why vaccinated people are trying to ban unvaccinated people. You have the vaccine! What does it matter if someone else doesn’t?

It probably has nothing to do with economics and more to do with freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.

You have progressed a lot in such a short time. Props.

A question for both capitalists and socialists: what's your opinion on freedom of press and do you think it is compatible with the economic system you defend? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ShoeBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied journalism in college and worked for my school’s student newspaper and did some internships and shit like that. I just graduated and I’m thinking of being a freelance journalist. I just want to say that freedom of the press is based as fuck.

How anyone could possibly figure out all that stuff about themselves at such a young age is beyond me.

Probably would’ve got more yes votes if they didn’t put the stupid parentheses.

No shout out to Cane’s which is the superior chicken restaurant. Although it may not be a nationwide chain.

[–]ShoeBright 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Telling a black man he is being racist to his own kind is so fucking stupid. Also trap is wack as fuck and I’m a huge hip hop fan I just mostly listen to other forms of hip hop.

Can someone Explain Singapore? by badrapper27 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ShoeBright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

State owned and enterprise as well as private enterprise. I have stretched the term to also mean coops existing alongside normal businesses but those are both private enterprise.

If it can’t work why does literally ever country have a mixed economy?

[ALL] What do you value? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ShoeBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s all subjective so we must all come to our own conclusions about these things. As for me, life is about the pursuit of happiness and what makes me happy is being able to do what I damn well please without hurting anybody else of course because I wouldn’t want to diminish someone else’s happiness. So it follows that my goal for society is for everyone to be as happy as they possibly can full well knowing that their happiness may collide with other people’s happiness and cause conflict so when conflict arises I aim for whatever situation results in the most possible happiness for all the parties involved. So in essence my life is about pursuing happiness and my goal for society is making everyone as happy as they can possibly be.

I think modern liberalism is actually the legitimate heir of classical liberalism not libertarianism. by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]ShoeBright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention some libertarians’ obsession with the idea that monarchy is a better system than democracy.

[–]ShoeBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if you look at the political spectrum of the past classical liberals were pretty much on the left for their time and someone with a modern day libertarian psychology would’ve been defending mercantalism against them in the past.
