It’s not entirely a bad idea to assert that things like equitable pay, Healthcare, food, education for kids etc etc are the base line and not remotely radical opinions to hold.

Look at the beleaguered “centrist” opinions we currently have that are actually quite radical: always stand for the flag, worship the troops, infinite bombs for Israel, reinforce the southern border, aim world ending nuclear weapons at the world we all share. I could go on. Shit is unhinged.

One of Zizek’s ‘Remember he made graduation’ moments was a joke where he says “People tell lies about me all the time. They go around saying that I’m a radical communist, it’s absolute slander and I won’t have it. I’m an extremely moderate communist.”

One of the others is something to the effect of “In principle I’m totally opposed to the death penalty, just after a lot of specific people are killed first.”

I’m a centrist, I believe that billionaires should be held accountable in a very sensible way (shot into the sun).
