So Vivvy, I'm always trying to figure out where you stand politically
and I've come with the following general options:
(a.) Communist (in the literal way, not the cartoon way it's commonly
used) - i.e., you believe the government should own and control the
means of production thus in a perfect world you'd be a government
employee and there'd be little or no economic freedom.
(b.) Social democrat - i.e., you believe in some economic freedom, but
you'd also like all markets to be created, owned, and managed by
government. An example might be an extreme version of France.
(c.) Charitable capitalist - i.e., you believe in broad economic
freedom, government regulation of markets only when then become
national assets, but you favor income tax - based wealth
redistribution to enable infrastructure.
I'm more of "C-": I do believe in the use of taxes to create public
economic infrastructure (safety nets [retirement, heatlh care],
student loans, unemployment, etc), but I absolutely do not believe in
government as ANY means of production.
I suspect you're a "B"; that is, you'd like to see France get rid of
Sarkozy and migrate further left thus elevating unions and labor
("political action") above business and markets (economic freedom).
So am I right? If not, where would you say you stand?
