Spare me the polemics

One thing of which I have become aware over the years.
The more polemical your argument (fascist, conservative, socialist, communist), the less likely it is to work in practice.
What do I believe in?
Pragmatism.
Whatever works, and not just for me, but for the good of everyone.
When we have eradicated unemployment, underemployment, poverty, debt, war, nationalism etc, we will have succeeded.
As not a single one of any of the polemical beliefs as listed above will get us there, I will regard them ALL as failures.
Pragmatically they do not deliver the goods.
