My voice is an uncommon one - I'm interested in having calm, intellectual, well reasoned, analytical conversations about topics like economics and technology from a leftist lens (think socialist or communist). This forum tends to be one where I get a lot of mocking, patronizing responses, but every now and again someone actually engages. Asks a question or asks for citations, and we can have an interesting few moments of sharing ideas and comparing notes even though we vehemently disagree. I like those moments. I see myself as part of what keeps this place from being too much of an echo chamber worshipping at the altar of capital. :D (that was tongue in cheek, don't take it too seriously.) Are they worth the mocking "hurr durr all communists are Nazis" moments? So far yes.
