I'm here because I have opinions the left doesn't like.

I'm not a southern nationalist by any means being a Yankee lol, but I'm interested in history and have been thinking lately that destroying monuments is going too far. I agree museums could be a good compromise... though I moved to a southern state recently and the way things were displayed in a local museum left a bad taste in my mouth. I'd prefer history to be presented in a neutral manner. I don't think anything should be glossed over or forgotten though. I don't think I'm somehow better or worse than anybody else related to who I'm descended from because humans all over have messed up things in their histories. I'm glad to have a new platform like Saidit because nuance in arguments is dying on the Internet.

I think both capitalism and Communism end up failing due to human greed. I'm frustrated with the problems of capitalism in America but I'm not sure what the alternative should be. With how much COVID-19 is showing the problems with our government that were already there, I'm hoping positive changes are coming.

I agree entirely. You moved down south, and since you ain't a carpetbagger, you could be a southerner if you choose to assimilate. I've known plenty of people who moved from other states (especially from California) and assimilated into the culture. They might not have been born here, but they're southerners alright.

Corporatism and Distributism are two alternatives. I'm somewhere in between the two. During these hard times we need class cooperation, not class conflict.
