I also still feel the govenrment should run the hospitals, trains, roads, water, energy... so I'm pretty left wing when it comes to economics.
Government should run critical infrastructure so private enterprise can thrive. Why do we need competition for trains? There's only one network. So it's not competition, it's a monopoly, and it's critical infrastructure because people need to get to work for the country to stay afloat. The government has more incentive than a private company that has no competition - votes.
But when it comes to equality and all that shit, this is where it all falls apart for me. This isn't economics, it's fucking identity politics. I abaondoned the left for this reason.
The right are just more sane, their ideology seems based on reason and logic, rather than blame and victimhood. I don't like the way the world works, but it's better here than most other places, so I'll take my good luck and get on with my life. I'm selfish, all I want is to survive and be happy. I don't give a fuck who isn't surviving and isn't happy because if I did I'd have a whole lot of fucking to give.
