Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.

Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.

    Yes I agree, we need several things though, a stronger bill of rights, grass roots enforcement of our constitution and rights bypassing the state, a stable hard currency, perhaps semifiat but based on resources I think, including labor. Basically a mathematical currency that tries to avoid any and all inflation by keeping prices constant overall when other factors aren’t in play. We need to privatize some things, like education but give students, not parents the choice between several options for each student that are unique. Somethings need to be socialized. Medicine partially, and half of taxes should be paid back in UBI, while everyone should pay exactly the same tax rate, income and corporate sells being the same and based on what people vote for as a combined price of all their jurisdictions, local, state, and federal. If we get our currency stable and not losing value, the state should also run a voluntary pension program that is backed up by the state, where people can Pay in and not worry and supplement their income whenever they decide to take it out. (This is possible with a no Inflation economy) The state can even profit from it by making safe investments. Basically a state backed interest free savings account. Property should be tax free for the first and taxed progressively after to keep property in the hands of the working people and to keep small business alive, and also to allow every family to build a little calls and wealth and to not destroy our genetics with fiat capitalism. Partial socialization of healthcare, as in providing basic free clinics and medicine, and funding of education, and half of taxes being given in UBI, and progressive property taxes to benefit the working class, should be just about the right amount of socialism. The rest should be mostly private except infrastructure which should mostly be collectively owned, particularly mature and large infrastructure like the internet, power, water, roads, etc.

    We also need a tarrif that automatically adjusts our costs to match countries which exploit their workers. Not a political thing. Perhaps a I dependent board with fixed finding and no political ties or pressure. Probably elected since politicians would never pick the right people. We need to ban private elections and donations and have only public elections and platforms that are fair and intellectual and open. We also need to tarrif countries by how much they build their military beyond defense. We would have reasonable limits for defense, perhaps a naval tonnage per area of coastline, anyone over that will impose a progressively higher tarrif depending on how much they over build their military.
