What is your political ideology

[Neihchfer]

You could define libertarianism as people being able to do whatever they want as long as they are nor hurting anyone, but some people would consider performing an abortion as harming someone.

True

But in some cases, the child could potentially harm the mother, so there's always that. Plus, the woman may not have wanted the baby. So we need to protect a woman's right to choose

If it's dangerous for the mother, fine. But if a baby is killed just because the mother doesn't want one, that's not fine. Christ, I don't know about you, but that seems really irresponsible.

It’s hard to blame them. They still get called Nazis by *ssholes and they’ve put the most effort possible to stop this. What we need is to recognize Germany is a new country. We need to accept their apology and have democratic nations strongly approve of them having power.

While we need to forgive them, they also need to forgive themselves to a certain degree. If the police are too politically correct to solve crime, then that is a massive problem, and they need to get their act together.

They may not be Nazis themselves, but they are a Liberal Democracy.. which are corrupt and decadent.

I am the queen of decadence. Liberal democracies are not decadent.

Many of even the most ardently pro-life still think there should be exceptions. These exceptions vary depending on the individilual, but those that do think there should be excpsropms believe the wan should have the final say when the mother’s life is at risk, as the bare minimum, while other extend it to cases of rape and/or incest.

Social Democrat. I think different ideologies have different effects and the ideal approach depends on the problems society faces at that time. Looking at the worlds current problems (e.g. climate change, inequality, racism, sexism) a centre left approach makes sense as the right is less willing to tackle those issues. If I was more concerned by immigration, Muslims, women's rights and/or "political correctness" then a centre right approach would make more sense.

And the ultimate effect of these excpsropms is that wen who are affected by the situations mentioned here will endure further trauma in attempting to justify their case. There's no way that in a realistic scenario, the government would simply believe a vague statement of "I was raped." Forcing a detailed statement and causing victims to relive their trauma is a hallmark of government-based resolutions to problems like these. This is an excellent example.

Even if the woman didn't want her child, a parent has a duty to care for their child.

The point of a liberal democracy is to serve the people by governmental means. If the people want to or should have something, they will get in eventually. Corruption and decadence are products of flawed democracies falling short. Liberal democracy is basically the least bad government form. It can exist under a variety of ideologies.

Many ideologies claim to serve the people. Socialism, Fascism, Anarchism, Capitalism...

Liberalism is an idea of equality within Capitalism essentially, which as we know has not worked because of Capitalism's inherent contradictions.

I can't think of an issue we face as a society that could not be solved by the end of the world.

Why? Can you not answer why capitalism has to be bad?

I can, it would just take awhile.

Lack of effort is not an effective argument.

Most communists, myself included, have no interest in arguing the merits of communism over capitalism to non-communists.

Communists can't prove that their ideology is superior, because it is not.

[Democratic Communist Federation]

Communists can't prove that their ideology is superior, because it is not.

No, because there are more important things to do. Winning an argument is not a part of the communist struggle. If people want to find out about communism, there are plenty of resources for that.

Honestly, I've always felt like the entire abortion debate lacks nuance. I identify as a left-libertarian (though I don't consider myself a libertarian socialist, as I'm not completely anti-state), so I support women's right to choose. I'm personally opposed to abortion, but it's not my business to say what others can do with their body. The issue I have with the "pro-life" movement, is that they just want to ban abortions without actually addressing why women get abortions in the first place. This is why we need free and effective contraceptives and comprehensive sexual education. That's how you decrease/prevent abortions.

"Winning an argument" is how you win people to your cause. Marx himself argued that it was the duty of Communists to proselytize to the working class and propagandize at every opportunity.
