  • We dont need to give up anything we just need change. Regulations are what keeps capitalism from killing us all and this planet. We have allowed deregulation to put us in this spot and its going to get worst.

  • Private property. I don't actually want to own things for the sake of owning things, I want a stable and reasonably comfortable life. In the current system, the only way to reliably achieve that is to own the things you need in your life. But if the system were such that you could live a decent life without owning a thing, I'll take that.

    And that is with the interpretation of private property as literally any possession you can own. If we go by the socialist interpretation of private property as property used to generate capital, I already have no private property and neither do most people here.

  • My car and my motorcycle. The motorcycle in particular hurts a bit more because that leans more into the sport and pleasure (cars do it for me too, but I like the MC more). I live in the US so no decent public transport for me. I'd have to walk about a half mile to get to the closest stop to my house. Closest drop off to my work still means another walk of two miles. Side walks are a bit lacking too. Not to mention that the scheduled for the bus is a bit too limited for what I need.

    I love driving for fun, in particular on the MC, but that is getting to. Having to? That sucks and is kind of bad for the environment.

    1. The concept of a family
    2. Freedom to pick your own job (Government assigned positions)
    3. Ability for me to be anything above lower-class
    4. Nationalism and pride in a Culture
    5. Accelerated Global Warming
    6. My intelligence becoming below average
    7. Every human lifespan is halved
    8. Research of Space and Regression of Rocket Technology (forever sub-sound)
  • emotionally, i want to say any and everything including my life, but i know that is merely talk until i have something deadly to face. however, i truly believe there isn't a single human rights issue not deserving of risking it all. but i am cowardly because i am fearful and insecure. i don't believe in myself although i try to. i have given up personal comforts for those i don't know and my friends, but am i ready to face something as severe as prison or being sent to a camp? i want to say "yes, of course," but.. idk. i know if our culture became more radical and revolutionary then i would feel ideological support from those around me and would be more willing to engage.

  • Nothing because there is nothing guaranteeing the better world would remain intact.

    I'd give it 3-4 generations...
