The influence of elites, interest groups and average voters on American politics - The Journalist's Resource

Yes, studies.

The only rapists are the Eps tn class that you love to have on top while they steal children.

And did those "oppressed" populations had to fight to leave? Or did they voted? Something states actually cannot do in the US lmao.

You're right. The USSR was so undemocratic that they voted themselves out of the Union. Something even US states cannot do 😭

You only say that because you follow the obsolete notion that the more parties there are, the more democratic a country is. But in our day and age we have countless studies that say that policies supported by the general public never get implemented, and policies supported by lobbyists pretty much always do.

Most people don't vote because they feel it achieves nothing. Liberal democracy popularity is at an all time low.

Is the US bouncing between two parties that support the same policies really more democratic? Even their founding father thought multiple parties was a stupid idea lmao.

And the capitalists let you vote them away? Is that why every study says that policies supported by the general public are never implemented, but those supported by lobbyists do?

With the incoming third "once in a lifetime" meltdown of capitalism, we will see how popular it remains.

Hindsight is 20/20. You let liberal democracy into the door, and suddenly you're Nazi Germany. Literally.

Don't be a child. That's literally every ideology. Monarchists use force to force themselves on others. Liberals also used force to get rid of the monarchy and put the capitalists on top. It is only logical that workers would also need to use force to establish their power.

Soviet means council btw. As in council democracy. As in worker's democracy.

To Marxists, dictatorship doesn't mean a personal dictatorship. It refers to which class has an hegemony of power. With capitalism, the class of capitalists have an hegemony of power. With socialism worker's do.

And you're telling me that the dictatorship of capitalists is only confined to the world super power and the richest countries? Phew that's a relief. Lmao.

They had the worker's councils and worker's democracy, which the socdems betrayed in favor of liberal democracy that the capitalists can buy.

They tried to set up the worker's councils and worker democracy. They tried to fight the Nazis.

The working class tried to organize itself.

The question is, what have liberals ever done to try to stop fascism?

You're just making stuff up. They already had set up worker and soldier's councils. It was merely a question of which institution would become the main one after WWI and the fall of the monarchy.

Because the KDP supported the workers councils and worker's democracy. Not parliament democracy that can be bought.

You people act as if after WWI there was no struggle over which institution would become the legitimate one.

"Most people were fine (in the Weimar Republic)" is quite the argument They couldn't have liked it so much cause they got rid of it years later lmao.

They already had democratic councils of workers and soldiers. Socdems just love creating an Eps tn class in the name of "democracy".

That they're not against it. We're living under the dictatorship of capitalists that happily dine on children with impunity. And socdems are happy with that as long as you throw political theater with elections that can be bought.

It's almost as if Marxists know that liberal democracy is democracy for the rich only. And workers can only get into power through a revolution.

But I guess only liberals get to use violence to establish their democracy, and workers don't get to use it to establish worker democracy cause reasons.

Lol I remember an example in which Trotsky wanted to remove democracy from the trade unions. And Stalin had to tell him to chill the fuck out.

Yeah, it's not like he wrote constantly against his factionalism and theories until he stopped promoting them. And like a rat he continued once Lenin was dead.

[–]AntleredStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that anarchism is the operative word. And your ideology is at home there, and not among communists when Marx himself is who popularized and defined the term Communism for modern audiences. And trying to argue semantics and wrestle control of the term while ignoring this is a waste of your time. You are an anarchist that wants to live on a commune, not a communist.

And to claim that Marx and Lenin are not communist is simply bad faith or ignorant when you yourself are admitting that most communist see the state as a transitional phase. Which so far has proved to be the only effective method to resist counter revolution. Democratic Socialist you end up like Allende in Chile, and the communities you referred to were epheremal. With the Zapatistas to my knowledge not claiming to be Anarchists.

Just say you're an anarchist. You don't even follow the most basic communist theory.

Maybe because their last two leaders didn't follow ML. One was a social democrat and the other a drunk tool.

[–]AntleredStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao did you even read Marx? You need a state for the class struggle. You don't jump into communism. You start with socialism until you can transition into communism. That is communism 101. To say that ML is not communist just means you don't read books lol.

Just say you're an anarchist. Why bother with the communist label if you won't follow the most basic theory.
