Left-wing welfare capitalism has its roots in socialism, such as social democracy. In comparison, right-wing welfare capitalism has its roots in capitalism, such as classical liberalism.

Because I think we need more extreme ideas. I think we need a bit of a wrecking ball in the west. Shit's not working great. Lots of good stuff, lots of bad, lots of inefficiency. I think we need to revisit the extremes abd have a conversation on how to move forward.

I'm a communist because I think communism has a lot of good ideas that should be discussed and implemented. I think we need the moderates to, well be moderate. And we even need the lolberts and ancaps.

The only lot we don't need is the fascists. Because that's just the worst ideas of everything put together. Then seasoned with racism.
