I am a socialist. I really liked Utopia by Thomas Moore in high school. I used to call myself a communist.

I was a Anarcho-primativist Luddite for a while. Anarchists will either love Detroit or be cured. I was cured.

Socialism has a pretty great track record. I am more interested in alternative currencies and economic permaculture to be honest. I really don't like the idea of the universal basic income. I think people should grow the food, fuel, fiber and "farmaceuticals" they need locally. Then develop craft and media industries to combat unemployment from automation. I think it is healthier for everyone, but would require land redistribution.

I am a reddit refuge and got in trouble on r/futurism all the time, because of their rancid group think.

Looking forward to some actual discussions.
