If you Criticize Something it Does not Meant You Do not Love It

Shostakovich wrote compositions that were loved by the Soviet government, but he also wrote compositions that were considered too modern or too western. He had many battles with the government. He could not get the government to understand that someone can criticize something while still loving it. He saw the need to be able to criticize the government the disagreed with their actions. I can definitely understand his point of view. If we criticize the actions of a person or an organization we are not saying that they are bad, we are criticizing an action. Pointing out something that needs to be changed can be a sign of love as long as it is done in a way that builds up instead of tearing down. It's sort of like the emperor's new clothes. When the emperor was going down the street nude the people were afraid to point out this fact and praised his clothes. The one who showed the most love for the emperor was the child who pointed out that he had no clothes. If the government or business refuses to fix the damaging behavior it is time to get rid of that government or business. For me the American political system is broken. As I have said before there is no strong liberal party, only a conservative one and a moderate one. Socialists and communists have vilified in this country. I would like to see the formation of a strong socialist party. I believe that it is possible to have socialism and personal freedoms. Giving people freedom to believe as they want and to love whom they want does not interfere in any way with the government. A government that gives more personal freedom is more likely to have the love of the people. A government that is intent of repressing the people runs the risk of being overthrown through political or violent action.
I do not know if I would want to stay in this country even it the political system changed. It is not out of not loving the people of this country that I want to leave. It is because I feel a strong connection to the countries that I have mentioned before. I may never understand this attraction. I just know that I feel it strongly. One thing that I do love about the country where I live is that I have the freedom to write what I just wrote.
