These are some wild takes

The real difference between Democratic Socialism and other forms is not whether or not democracy, representative or direct, exists in the formation of a workers' state, because in both cases it does. The difference is that democratic socialists want to establish socialism through democratic means, they want to run for office and implement steady reforms over time to transition from one mode of production to the next

inb4 ancap best society ever

AnCaps are worthless utopians

they are worthless

I just said that politicians today are fucking funny and brain deprived

you cant eradicate the problem by feeding it

Honestly my contention with democratic socialism is how it's ineffective

watching the news it like watching retards

Take Venezuela for example

yeah, retards show

70% of the industry is privately owned and 90% of the work force is I'm the private sector

MUH FUCKING ECONOMY,
WE WILL FUCKING REMOVE STARVATION
HERE, TAKE THE MONEY

>10 years later
>people eat animals from zoo and rotten flesh

My point is they need to use authoritarian means and revolutionary terror to transition

Putin visited Venesuela, no worries, no not a single person will escape the paradise

transition to what

Otherwise it'll stay the capitalist hellhole it is today

To socialism

capitalism hellhole

wat

venezuela was never capitalistic

what the fuck are you talking about

Venezuela by taking the reformist route has been ineffective at transitioning the economy

they had centralized economy with government set production limits and prices

wtf

thats capitalism to you?

They actually don't have that

yeah they had it and fucking lost 40% of their citizens

not saying anything

The private sector and markets are the largest portion of the economy

what economy

its dead

venezuela is a fucking meme

You know what I mean

they had a retarded president who would give away cash on left and right

they also tried to tell people how to run their own business

so people fucked that and couldnt anymore cope with all the bullshit, the economy collapsed

Well no they've had masisve capital flight, constant coup attempts and resistance from the business owners

Something which has prevented any socialist policies from being enacted

resistence, yeah, I wont waste my time now to explain why the *resistance* occured
