These are my beliefs:
- Workers should control where they work at and receive proper equity from the value they create.
- Non-essential industries should not be controlled by the government, essential industries should be, for the most part.
- People should be able to have some say in who gets into government positions (at a minimum, like Vietnam or Cuba).
- Social democrats are not the same as fascists.
- Regular people (non-politicians, pundits and/or wealthy people) who happen to be liberals are likely well-intentioned and could be educated.
- Military action should not be taken unless you are being directly threatened by another country.
The reason that people make this comparison is that by focusing on welfare nationally (within the imperial core) and conceding on issues of foreign-policy they are functionally accepting the apartheid where third world exploitation subsidies first world opulence.
