I guess maybe head was suffering a bit yesterday and today... Anyways, I guess the point I was trying to make is that it is hard to put a value on living in a safe, stabil society. And before you start - there is a correlation between opiod crisis in America and the demise of industry etc. This is a complex issue and I unfortunately I have some real work to focus on, but to try to give you a better understanding of my opinion on this : I believe the biggest challenge facing western societies is this rampant consumerism - too many are more focused on having the latest Iphone or other stuff than say an educating themselfes etc... If that constitute a communist tendency then I standby then I guess I am a communist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
