It is my opinion, at least on racial issues, that identity politics will prolong solutions. That being said it is a fact that Minorities face challenges, and solutions must be made. However is reparations really the way to go? In my opinion the root cause of Minority problems can be attributed to 3 things, lack of universal education, a out of control pharmaceutical industry, and a lack of incentive to achieve. Minorities suffer the most due to those 3 things being in existence, and the government has done little to fix them. And by the way, what is the deeper root cause of those 3 things? Prepare for a shocker, Capitalism. This is my point. One could potentially solve racial inequalities, and never touch social matters. Here I only said that the economy needs some mild reforms, I did not even push socialism there. My belief is that a lot of social problems can be attributed to a root cause that exists in the economy.

Those are all good points, and i wasn’t saying you were pushing socialism, i was saying that Jishuin was, sorry for the misunderstanding… but the thing is socialism isn’t a very widespread belief in the US i think, and again, with conservatives getting more political ground, it’s gonna be even harder to establish economic reforms and socialism
