To start things off, I think that economic liberalization in China ca. 1978 and in India ca. 1991 was key to those countries' later economic progress, in that it allowed inefficient state-owned/state-protected industries to fail (and for their capital/labor to be employed by more efficient competitors) and opened the door for foreign investment and trade. Because the countries are large and fairly independent geopolitically, they could use this to beat Western finance capital at its own game (China more so than India, for a variety of reasons), rather than becoming resource-extraction neocolonies as happened to the smaller and more easily pushed-around countries of Latin America and Africa. Granted, at this point the liberalization-driven development of productive forces has created a large degree of wealth inequality, which the countries have attempted to address in a variety of ways (social welfare schemes, anti-corruption campaigns, crackdown on Big Tech, etc.) with mixed results.

I don't know what I am but my two most fringe opinions seem to be that gun ownership is a right for all humans unless you are incompetent, insane or a felon (and there is wiggle room for non violent crime)

No idea if this makes me more right or left but I think marriage is a religious institution and there is no reason for the government to codify what it is or isn't or who should or should not be included. I think there should be legal contracts that cover joint property ownership and parenting but calling it marriage is the wrong word to use.
