One party deserves criticism for being insufficient. One party deserves nothing but scorn and opposition. (lemmy.world)

Well how about this I DEFINATELY %100 do agree that capitalism has a fucking problem. I believe it makes more sense to regulate harshly and have a 50s style tax on the rich than to throw baby out with water. Im liberal in the sense that HUMAN RIGHTS must take precedent no matter what part of an economic shift we're in

Liberals cannot actively support it without also confronting the inherent contradictions within liberal ideology.

Thank you, I couldn't have asked for a better demonstration of this point. A healthcare system that is based on the free market but that is "regulat[ed] harshly and [with] a 50s style tax on the rich" is not universal healthcare!

If you can see the issues with healthcare and can understand why universal healthcare would be a necesarry improvement then how are you still advocating for a free market solution for anything?

That baby died a long time ago, and required required constant human rights violations to keep it alive in the first place. Getting rid of the bathwater won't bring it back or make it require less cruelty to keep alive.
