    Yeah but wen you and i grew up...................i read the paper 1 time a day and watched news on tv/radio 1 time a day..............Now they get (depressing)bs 24/7(smartphones/ect)

    It does not excuse anything(moral compas)...............but each generation grows up in it own timeline/place,with its own bunch of bs to deal with.........share you age /experience :D

    I was weaned on politics matey. My Grandmother was a 'Match Girl' (Google it), and a suffragette, both my parents were also politically active and the lounge in our house served as the committee rooms of a political party and there were committee meetings once a month. When I was old enough to do so, I too became politically active, but whereas my father was a member of the Labour Party, I joined the Communist party. We used to have stand up shouting matches frequently and on occasion, in order to get some peace my Mother would push us both out into the back garden and lock the door behind us.

    Like i said we all grow up in something:)...................left/right will always excist, so will politics(humannature)..........find the middle imo

    Personally....if you want to put me in a box "socialist" would be it.............capitalisme/communisme dont seem to work with humannature...........current mess?

    I read some marx/engels............the basic idear behind communisme is not that bad...........but not workable imo, same goes for capitalisme(longterm). Money will always be needed but it needs to be a tool, not a goal(consciousness). Current politicians and politics(left/right) cater to wrong idears/system. Equallity in standard of living(worldwide) might solve things,start thinking like a planet............how we get there, from current status quo,i have no clue:D



    Short answer,imo people get to hung up in left/right(politics) bs these days(interwebz/media),that they dont see the real problems anymore.
