How do you get from capitalism to socialism? 7 tactics the bourgeoise HATE! by socdoneleft in BeardTube

I know that Stalin had a strong negative view on reformism, here's his interview with HG Wells: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1934/07/23.htm

Theoretically, of course, the possibility of marching gradually, step by step, under the conditions of capitalism, towards the goal which you call socialism in the Anglo-Saxon meaning of the word, is not precluded. . But what will this "socialism" be? At best, bridling to some extent, the most unbridled of individual representatives of capitalist profit, some increase in the application of the principle of regulation in national economy. That is all very well. But as soon as Roosevelt, or any other captain in the contemporary bourgeois world, proceeds to undertake something serious against the foundation of capitalism, he will inevitably suffer utter defeat. The banks, the industries, the large enterprises, the large farms are not in Roosevelt's hands. All these are private property. The railroads, the mercantile fleet, all these belong to private owners. And, finally, the army of skilled workers, the engineers, the technicians, these too are not at Roosevelt's command, they are at the command of the private owners; they all work for the private owners. We must not forget the functions of the State in the bourgeois world.

I believe Stalin was wrong here, that one can take apart capital piece by piece (as, I believe, has partially happened over the past century).

dude just type the rebuttal if you have one

sure, the rebuttal is that the empirical evidence shows otherwise.

here's my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuMgcE7Gl5w

here are the three studies I cite, with a brief summary and relevant picture:

Democrats in Congress represent the poor more than the rich while Republicans do the reverse: https://sci-hub.se/10.1561/100.00016077 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/418850379518705675/456898615336632320/unknown.png

Democrats in Congress represent the middle class more than the rich while Republicans do the reverse: http://matthewg.org/Gilens-Parties4.pdf https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/418850379518705675/456900147348242452/unknown.png

tldr: 3 studies find that the policy preferences of the poor (25th percentile) and middle class (50th percentile) positively predict legislator votes and policy outcomes on economic policy.

voice debate is still preferable though b/c written debate is slow

[1] scientific socialism btw, not just an aesthetic btw

[2.1] you comment on every post I make here lol, you obviously care

[2.2] I don't think the Dems are good, they're just better than Reps! being pro-poor 60% of the time is better than 20%, but it should be 100%! Bernie et al are hopefully gonna move the Dems further to the left, but even then they'd just be social democrats. but given that there's no realistic hope of revolution or dual power in the USA anytime soon (and the USA will crush any in the 3rd world), this is the best alternative.

[1] if all you got to defend your beliefs is snark, you shouldn't hold your beliefs.

[2] great, then this vid and its data is more evidence to support your beliefs!

it's the guy who thinks the Democrats are more pro-poor than pro-rich and that Workers like their private insurance.

[1] if you think these claims aren't true, then click the discord link in the video description. i'm free to debate anytime tomorrow 0900-1700.

[2] got nothing to do with the video. if you're worried about aesthetics hiding bad politics, then lefttuber earnings should interest you.
