  • the large firms and key industries are overwhelmingly publicly owned and planned

    To not too dissimilar an extent as modern Russia

    the working class is in control of the state.

    Do you believe this for North Korea? If so, why not Russia?

  • Except that is not the principle in either country. There are plenty of cases where the state is in principle in control, or actually in control. Russia, similar to other economies, such as fascist Italy or China is structured in such away where you can exist as a "private" company as long as you ultimately bow to the state. You could also put many of the gulf states into that club. If socialism is not "when government does stuff" then capitalism is not "when rich people"

  • But it does not meet the definition of capitalism you gave. I agree its also not entirely socialist. It's almost like its not a binary, most economies are mixed. The US is also not purely capitalist.

  • I see what you’re saying but I think when you really get to know a person you’d be hard pressed to find two that overlap so much that theres nothing they can learn from each other.

    No I agree completely, its just less interesting, and less opportunity.

    In reality though, whether we mostly agree on most values(other than how they treat me and specific people I care about) does not have much of an impact in how I choose who date.

    for example, human rights

    The thing is, I think you, I, and basically everyone disagrees on what human rights are. It would be hard to date in much of the world if you believed in freedom of speech, or vice versa in other places.

    they have to be able to see humanity in all

    Again, I think in many places its hard to find people who do.

    I don’t think its constructive for us to be a relationship if they don’t at least have the potential to get there.

    I don't see why someone having the same view of morality as me is necessary to have a relationship.

  • Second, the stereotyping by politics is so inaccurate as to be insulting.

    Isn't that the whole premise of this post?

  • I find politics to be very important if not the most important factor in choosing a long term partner.

    Noticing trends, I feel like people who say this have limited experience in close relationships with people of widely disparate views. I personally would hate to date someone who agrees with me on most things. Not only because it would be boring, but because it would be hard to learn and grow from them.

  • What is ownership? If I say you own a car, but take it and drive it whenever I want, even if you may own it- I control it. Given that context, is modern Russia socialist or capitalist?
