Whole thing looked to me as a sham since the day I was born

2021-02-05 08:53:13 UTC  

Even the idea of liberal democracy is better than almost any other system of governance as it gives people at least some choice. This idea would seem laughable for most of history and now it is real.

2021-02-05 08:53:37 UTC  

It's nothing revolutionary lmao

2021-02-05 08:53:48 UTC  

Like it's just progression of bourgois rule

2021-02-05 08:54:10 UTC  

And it's still subjegated to political laws, despite opposing them

2021-02-05 08:54:43 UTC  

A democratic government controlling an established state would be viewed as a revolutionary and radical idea for most of history.

2021-02-05 08:54:53 UTC  

No it wouldn't

2021-02-05 08:55:17 UTC  

Because what we have is politically similar to Rome, oligarchy of the wealthy

2021-02-05 08:55:36 UTC  

Difference is that current regimes are better at manufacturing consent

2021-02-05 08:55:51 UTC  

But people are irrelevant just like they have been 2000 years ago

2021-02-05 08:55:53 UTC  

Oligarchy is a problem

2021-02-05 08:56:05 UTC  

Why is it a problem

2021-02-05 08:56:05 UTC  

How about we try to remove big money from politics?

2021-02-05 08:56:08 UTC  

You sat it is

2021-02-05 08:56:16 UTC  

How? Violent revolution?

2021-02-05 08:56:28 UTC  

Otherwise you won't remove them

2021-02-05 08:56:42 UTC  

As they are one who established this system in the first place

2021-02-05 08:56:59 UTC  

If it can be done in no other way absolutely.

2021-02-05 08:57:00 UTC  

Your method is to ask them nicely to stop

2021-02-05 08:57:15 UTC  

Revolution is a last resort but it is not off the table.

2021-02-05 08:57:21 UTC  

Ya but you won't have violent revolution

2021-02-05 08:57:27 UTC  

As masses are content

2021-02-05 08:57:28 UTC  

Why noe?

2021-02-05 08:57:38 UTC  

Ok

2021-02-05 08:57:40 UTC  

Big money gives them comfy life

2021-02-05 08:57:49 UTC  

Countries have democratically elected socialists before

2021-02-05 08:57:59 UTC  

And nothing changed ya

2021-02-05 08:58:06 UTC  

The problem is that the liberals then abandon democracy and try to get rid of them

2021-02-05 08:58:21 UTC  

And do so successfully

2021-02-05 08:58:32 UTC  

Also wrong

2021-02-05 08:58:46 UTC  

What is wrong?

2021-02-05 08:58:52 UTC  

Social democracy had pretty strong control in Western Europe historically

2021-02-05 08:59:01 UTC  

Yes

2021-02-05 08:59:03 UTC  

But they didn't eradicate big money from politics

2021-02-05 08:59:15 UTC  

And you think they never will?

2021-02-05 08:59:30 UTC  

Don't see way to do so

2021-02-05 08:59:46 UTC  

Everything you said was tried and failed

2021-02-05 09:00:02 UTC  

Liberalism is failing as we speak

2021-02-05 09:00:08 UTC  

And you will say that until it succeeds.

2021-02-05 09:00:11 UTC  

why are you even arguing socdem

2021-02-05 09:00:21 UTC  

I am gonna ban you
