I am a cynical idealist so I don’t think there’s a way that doesn’t involve some sort of a compromise with people who think it should be different. Politics is not a way to determine who’s right or the most ethical but the means of working stuff out among groups with different interests. Maybe we can coalesce on something nice later on but for now we know that people can’t be forced into things they don’t want to be forced into. For now and probably forever we also need to coexist and that requires a common trading framework.
Ah, well we are working from different base assumptions then. I’m not cynical, I’m an optimist but yes still an idealist.
I don’t really get your point about politics as politics is everything so yes, it is a way to determine who’s right or the most ethical as well as many other things, I think you might be referring to only electoral politics, otherwise I’m not sure how you could be seeing politics as a way to not determine that.
I disagree, people are forced into things they do not want to do all the time.
Maybe, but it could be a lot fairer than it currently is, my hope is one day it won’t be necessary though or at least not to the same degree that it is now.
