  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is an exact example of just how much you have no clue. I certainly know the difference and my post said absolutely nothing about oligarchies or the rich or overlords or whatever other nonsense was projected onto my thoughts.

There absolutely is a large part of the left who abhors capitalism of any type. It seems maybe you have been taught that if someone mentions capitalism they must only be referring to our present systems and oligarchs.
I have learned by listening to conserviatives that when they speak of "capitalism" that is indeed what they mean: the status quo
There certainly are groups who hate the current system and hate and blame the rich for everything and its all their fault we have people struggling. There are groups that only see that blame capitalism for all the ills because capitalism is the problem
Capitalism is not the problem. Neoliberal corporate capitalism is the problem.
.
We havent had free market capitalism for a long time.
Many on the left think we should go back to it, or at least something closer to it than what we have now.

I have to say this is one of the silliest things ive heard you say. Which had nothing to do with what I said.
If the wealth continues to stay at the tippy-top of the economy, it’ll teeter (and fall).
Government is supposed to keep that from happening but now that money=speech (Citizens United), the government went up for sale to the highest bidders.

The fixation on Trump to the point that some are saying he going to run again is so much of a detractor that people are getting tired of the vitriol.
