I don't believe that full blown Communism is feasible, so never I suppose.How much further til you are a full blown communist ?
I think that's because something like 90% of those who now claim to identify with you are ideological victims of people like the Kochs or Mercers, confused, nihilistic, taking up a fad, or are Ron Paul or Tea Party burnouts, etc. Or basically anyone who has taken the most popular "political compass test" and not realized it's propaganda. The word that accurately described you has become a grab bag and a false alternative to Republicanism.Once upon a time, you'd call that libertarian, but that seems to bug a few folks around here. For whatever reason, the only people who should call themselves libertarians are those "sovereign citizens" types.

But, I'd love to see some workable version enacted globally. There is simply no reason for the wealth disparity that we see in the U.S.
I'd be perfectly happy with demand side economics and tax policy, frankly.
I think you misunderstood the question
I don't think he's insincere in that at all, its one of the few issues he seems genuinely interested in.
I call them libertardians. May Allah eradicate them all.I think that's because something like 90% of those who now claim to identify with you are ideological victims of people like the Kochs or Mercers, confused, nihilistic, taking up a fad, or are Ron Paul or Tea Party burnouts, etc. Or basically anyone who has taken the most popular "political compass test" and not realized it's propaganda.

Maybe much of the time but on the issue of morality I do think he's genuine. He and I have gone back and forth on the topic here and there and if he's been trolling then he's done a good job pretending to be a thoughtful, open minded person.He is a Pepe meme, nice enough, but still a Pepe meme.

My number one objection to Trump is the way he does not try, as all recent presidents have, to appeal to morality and higher ideals. He and most of the right in America seem dismissive of the idea that people even have higher ideals. Hypocrisy is bad but normal and expected; not even professing values that you can contradict is worse.
