Communist or Conservative?

"Not so long ago, it seems like only a million years, I used to consider myself a liberal. I was sure that anyone who attacked welfare was a stingy reactionary at best. My first response to any injustice or inequality was to call for a new law or maybe even a government program. I felt that crime was the result of the criminal’s environment"


There is still a third step.
The first being a Liberal, ( in Europe we would say a Communist) the second a Conservative and the third understanding that whatever you are, you are always yourself and between being a Communist or a Conservative there is just a little bit of time, some years, some delusions. Changing ideals means to believe something can still be done. What we did wrong can be redone and changed.
But in the third stage you understand that there is good and bad in whatever you think and do.
It is not right to be a Communist, but it is not right to be a Conservative.
Both have a good and a bad side.

In between there is the human being, who doesn't work unless he is obliged to, who is trying to improve his living standards in the right or the wrong way, who doesn't create the market incentives but is in a way a victim of them.

Life is not just a technological ladder.
The best intentions often fail and what is done today is undone tomorrow.

However we must do what everyday brings us, and do it as well as we can, and better, if possible, than anybody else.
Either as Communists or Conservatives.
