Thats what we in America would call a socialist. Really just social democracy tho. I'm guessing you'd vote Bernie.
>>697993079
most high schoolers start here I find and workt heir way somewhat right but rarely much upward. It's amusing because most people in our country I find are either close to the center of the vertical axis or below it, and every elected official in our country that ever had a chance at becoming president since the 60's is very solidly somewhere in the middle of the blue quadrant.
>>697994314
I know too many "blue lives matter" fucks to believe that.
>>697995173
I find half of both the pro police stance people and the black lives matter stance people to be confused kneejerk reactionaries. Our media has us so primed to just be emotional about things before applying logic and rational discussion. Trying times we live in.

See you are only looking at it skin deep. Yes those are real effects in both communities, but police do have a really hard job a lot of the time dealing with all of our society's problems. They are the ones to arrive on scene with a teenager threatening to kill themselves, or a wife beaten, or someone black out drunk scaring people in a restraunt, or what have you. They quietly deal with some really emotionally scarring things every day and in the inner city it is possible to die just for being a cop.
The people on the police community side of things often have, or had, a loved one in the police forces. They are very emotional to hear a sniper killed a handful of people just for the job they took. You know, it's really hard for those people to see others using their racial oppression wounds to call for the deaths of cops, even if VERY FEW of the BLM supporters are doing this exactly.
People are complicated. You might hear from these people that they want a fascist state, but many of them just want others to acknowledge that the lives of some of our best civil servants also matter even if there are terrible cops among them.

US has highest number and highest proportion of prisoners to pop in the world. US cops are soldiers in a war on humanity and indirectly a war on coloreds. The war on drugs is a step down from the greatest violations of human rights in history and it's the black community that suffers most.

The existence of systematic problems isn't license to ignore that police are people like the rest of us. Animosity towards police does not make such systematic problems better, it makes them worse. When people do not trust police to do the right thing, and police do not trust citizens to be working for the rule of law, what happens in every culture where this occurs is extreme corruption and organized crime. The law of the land is replaced with the law of the jungle.
Fix the systematic issues, but don't burn bridges with the good civil servants out there that might have helped you do it.

I would suggest you talk to a wide range of police that deal with typical issues in a community. Many of them are just trying to make a living and take on an extreme burden for society that we don't want to deal with. Don't judge the whole based on the actions of a few.

Also how is North Korea doing for you?
>>697998598
But the vast majority of US criminals are nonviolent drug offenders. That leads to the implication that the vast majority of police are involved in their arrests. They are almost all directly involved, and they make a living off of oppression.

Silly comparison. I'm not even going to make an argument for or against new gun laws of any kind. I'm just going to point out this doesn't make any sense.
Driving a car on public roads is a privilege that we provide licenses for. Because it is a privilege and not a right you can limit it in extreme ways.
A gun is not like this in the US so any argument to legislate anything around it has to be negotiated on different terms.
What you said might make sense to you, but legally it is a ridiculous comparison.

Most of the things police deal with are not drug related in average settings. Domestic disputes and being the first one on scene to a medical emergency is frequent however. Police get to see some really intense shit that wears on their soul. There are many police out there that hate our drug law policy, and many that if nobody else is around and they find drugs, pretend they saw nothing.

"Just following orders" may be a reason but it isn't an excuse. If they are doing something they don't believe in are they really any better?
I'd also state that I believe that almost all crime is a product of capitalist society, that incentives and objectification are what cause crime. If no one was poor, no one would need to steal for instance. Cops protect capital and are thus an inherently counter-revolutionary force.

the questions are better for determining which square you belong in. However, I do like that political compass explains what each quadrent means and suggests literature that fits into each quadrent
I'm surprised about the fact that there aren't that many right winged libertarians in this thread. You do realize that the left is horrible for economics and being authoritarian means dictatorship, and history really proves how effective dictatorship is. I guess I can at least respect moderates, as going too far can be chaotic.

>>698004742
Communism in general is authoritarian, including Marxist-Leninism. They claim to be libertarian, but the implications of their ideology is naturally predisposed to authoritarianism. And don't give me any of that "true Marxist-Leninism has never been tried" bullshit. It never will be, because it's impossible. Marxist-Leninism will always evolve into something like Stalinism or Maoism because that's the natural conclusion of such ideologies. Hence, it's authoritarianism that disguises itself as libertarianism.

>>698006672
So do laws against rape and murder, yet most humans seem to be pretty compliant with them. Society is constantly changing how humans act around one another. It would take a huge cultural shift no doubt, but I could see a future where some form of anarcho communism is possible
>>698005899
I'm some dumbass on the internet, do you honestly give a shit about me?
whatever, any source that either of us will use will always be fucking biased, so I'm going to give you my own thinking and reasoning. 1. You can't have rich people be the only ones paying their share, or at least paying the majority. So far, with the current liberal tax brackets, America's debt has doubled. 2. businesses are treated poorly. This has left many people jobless. 3. Failure is an option. when money from the rich goes to the poor, why put in the effort to be rich when you are going to just get money handed to you?

>>698007358
Again, I'm not saying it could be implemented in like a year or two. It would take a large, gradual cultural shift, in which values such as communal ownership are implemented. The problem with previous leftist movements is that such values were forced on the population. People need to be willing to work for the good of the community, rather than just for the good of themselves. Look at countries like Norway and Denmark, which are not only economically successful, but also implement at least partially leftist policies. There is a much greater emphasis on community in those areas, relative to the United States. Here, the cut throat, dog-eat-dog nature of capitalism is almost celebrated. Those who have wealth are celebrated almost to the point of worship, while those who have little are looked down upon as being lazy and/or stupid. This would need to change before anything resembling anarcho-communism could exist. There would need to be a mass cultural awakening, in which the general views wealth, equality, and community, were changed to fit a leftist world view. Of course, corporate lobbyists and establishment politicians will do everything in their power to prevent this from happening. It would be an uphill battle, but a winnable one. In short, there needs to be a war on ignorance before any such ideology could be instated.
>>698007527
by nature or out of necessity?
communism can work well in small groups where there is a vested interest in the collective survival.
but it breaks down rapidly as you add units and people are more removed from each other.
in large populations, individualism must assert itself, or the weight of the system will eventually collapse itself.

Why do we rape? Because sex is pushed as a commodity, women are sold to us in the media as objects of sex because it's easy to sell and there's money to be made. Why would any woman be a prostitute of there was no incentive to sell her body versus a more honest line of work?
Why do we steal? Either we lack the means to survive comfortably or we are brainwashed into the idea that we need to own more to be happy.
