I'm actually not at all concerned with what other people make. In fact, I'm happy for those few people who can make a decent living at this sort of thing. The problem I have is that the entire monetization

I'm not a professional, I've just taken up creative writing as a hobby. I hope to maybe make money off of it someday, but I'm mostly focused on just the writing part for now. Thank you for the kind words.

Well, though the story is already kinda bloated with exposition to bother bringing it up directly, it could be speculated that the Legion member had some level of resistance training against interrogation

Thank you! This series has been getting more attention from the start than I expected. It's very encouraging. I hope each installment of the story lives up to your expectations!

Thank you for the kind words! I've actually explored the limits of my own spin on time travel throughout this series. One of the main difference between my version and other versions typically used is

Thanks for the compliment! I would say it's part talent, but a lot of it is just practice. My first draft of my first story was embarrassingly bad, but I like to think I've improved a lot since then. I

Indeed, the free market is the operative word. I could argue that creating a separation of power between the wealthy and the government might be more important than a separation between religious authorities

Yeah, having a time traveler that is actually a slightly overprotective father who even makes dad jokes on occasion was honestly an odd choice on my part. I wouldn't be able to explain why I went this

I don't find education elitist. I find it elitist to suggest I can't speak on a certain subject because I don't have the free time between my full time job and other hobbies to read multiple books written

You really can't accept being wrong, can you? I stated: "... a google search of "father of socialism" literally produces a picture of Karl Marx" Then you said: "Incidentally on

You could have said that a google search is not the deciding factor of truth, but instead you said I was wrong. YOU are the one who is wrong. Now, perhaps google tailored results for me specifically, but

Oh, by the way... we both might be clearly done with this conversation, but I was contacted by someone on Minds who wishes to discuss with you. He is not on Steemit, since he has a policy of not giving

Credibility of zero? Because I don't have a degree in economics and apparently conflated Marxism, which are the collective theories of Karl Marx, with Socialism, heavily influenced by Karl Marx? To the

1: "What puts you in a position to speak for socialists? " Not sure if you realize you are moving the goal post here. If a self described socialist does not advocate for seizing the means of

Good to hear. Even if my responses might sound a bit blunt at times, I actually enjoy these kinds of conversations. I think it's important to defend my own positions or change them, just as I believe it

1: Exactly, but benefits like the ones you listed given for a position of employment are pay. They are part of an agreement determined at the time of hiring or added in a later renegotiation of terms.

1: Well, you could include benefits in the same fundamental category as pay, correct? In other words, offering benefits is equivalent to offering more money that could be used to purchase those benefits.

Well, I disagree with some of those points, but otherwise thank you for the thoughtful comment. Henry Ford paying his employees better salaries is not some form of socialism. It's the purest form of

Thanks for the encouragement!

Ah, hello there. I wasn't aware you were on Steemit as well. :)
