Let's not mistake diversity for individualism. We can be diverse, yet share overarching ideals - such as living together peacefully and in solidarity.

- bluGill 6y agoIncreasingly I see people argue we should take up a socialist society. Not hard to see why a raise in either of the above would result in the other side getting even more extreme in reaction.
- nicoburns 6y agoI feel like capitalism vs. socialism is a false dichotomy. We could and should have a society with somewhat equitable outcomes that nevertheless uses market mechanisms to achieve that. It's this cold war attitude of us vs. them which is the problem.
