For example, if you believe people living in a capitalist society should be allowed to own firearms for self defense, would that change for you under AES? Why?

Under AES I fully support strict gun control. I think China has their gun policies pretty on point.

Under capitalism I’m very torn. In particular, in the current day United States the people who want me, my loved ones, and anyone like us dead and buried have lots and lots and lots of guns. So I’d like some of the people who like us being alive to also have guns.

As far as myself personally, I’m not entirely sure if I’m even allowed to own a gun but if I can I don’t want one, I’m painfully aware that the person I’d be most likely to use it on is “me if I get too sad”
