Unlike you, I prefer energy diversity and prefer an energy system that produces more than enough energy which keeps the cost down for all and keeps enough energy available to handle whatever mother nature throws at us down the road. If you want to mainly rely on solar and windmills and keep a few billionaires and millionaires and Chinese regime who are all heavily invested in the two of them happy and supportive, that's fine with me. Why are so many Democrats who are supposed to be so smart, wise and good actually so dumb, gullible and evil/mean spirited/vindictive these days?(02-23-2021, 04:08 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(02-22-2021, 09:10 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: Discussing capitalism with Einzige on the partisan divide page. Does that mean Marxism is one side of the divide now? (I know the Republicans and Classic Xer say so.....)The Democratic side is about half Marxist (quasi socialist) these days. You're a Democratic supporter, you should know that by now. You should also know that oil and water don't mix.
I don't mind being called quasi socialist or half Marxist. I don't agree with a lot of what Marx said, but I do consider his work historically important. The working class, for example, was not taken much into account before Marx. I DO know that oil and water DO mix, as you define it. A mixed public and private economy not only mixes well, but it is by far the best system over total socialism or total capitalism. In fact, a mixed economy is the only workable kind. It has been around long before Marx too; it is civilization itself. You support total capitalism. That makes you a deceived and cruel fanatic.
And economically and literally speaking these days, we need a lot less oil. Your side wants to hang on to your oil profits which are ruining the world, and you don't care.
