Markets are inherently problematic and lead to wealth being centralized in the hands of the few owners. A well regulated market ignores the problem which must be addressed; the dichotomy of workers and owners. Class struggle won't be fixed if not addressed. Neo-liberalism markets can't be fixed with more neo-liberalism.

Pity, you have to defend your ideas in a free market of thought.

I wish it was just "towards the left".

I'm very much on the left socially and left of center economically, but even I feel like every other comments section on here reads like some insane tankie commune.

But 'we'd be better off in a world free of corruption' isn't a right-leaning position.

In today's skewed political spectrum, "Left" is what would be considered moderate in a reasonable perspective.
