    I feel that unfairly disrespects socialism, the same way people try to backpedal “defund the police” until it only means “give the police more money”.

    The whole point of the left is that we’re not in love with unregulated capitalism. Price regulation is an “entry level” view for being Left of center.

    I have to ask. Is English not a first language to you? Are you possibly running your replies through a translator? Very often your responses to me come across as nonsense, not in a logical sense, but as if language is failing us trying to communicate with each other.

        I really think we’re failing to communicate far more than disagreeing on anything, and I don’t know how to fix that. I’m sorry.

        I mean no disrespect, but you sound a bit like I did in college, trying to hard to use big words that the message itself is completely unclear. Not saying that’s the case, just that I can’t follow your underlying intent.

          Of course our communication is poor.

          You are mining quotations out of context, leveraging them for your own agenda, and pretending there is no problem any deeper than some inadequacy in my use of language, though it is supported only by your absurd conjectures.
