You know when you're a kid, and you (hopefully) have that kind of warm background feeling of being looked after, and that feeling sort of matriculates upward into your emerging worldview and you just kind of assume, at least until proven wrong, that the powers that be are there because they're mostly competent and have your best interests at heart?

One reason I know I'm a communist and not just a nihilist, other than all the reading I have to do, is that the achievements of societies run by their people instead of the creeping cosmic horror of capital, can still make me feel that sense of wonder, of progress, of comfort that some great power out there really does want what's best for everyone- and it's on the risespecter
