but you don't have to introduce morals in order to want to revolt
an actual revolution will be a movement of people
I think it's always there, you don't have to inject it
people have morals
well, if we're talking pure economics, which we started by doing, there are no morals
capitalism will move to socialism like feudalism moved to capitalism
economic theories don't introduce morals
right, but people seem more focused on the oppression vs oppressor thing than an actual economic model
To say that's not a big part of it isn't fair imo
that is true and it's a result of people not being without morals as you yourself said
ofc revolutions use moral arguments
but they also use economic
I generally like to seperate them
You might be able to, but I know how revolutions go
Sounds fun until people get killed for simply having employees
well feudal lords got killed simply by having serfs
and we celebrate that today
rightfully imo
serfs only had to pay 25% taxes, funny fact, compare it to now
the class relation between serf and feudal lord is comparable to that of employee/employer
The angle I come from is more libertarian, changing what it is now with a communist dictatorship(which it almost always is) is simply a slight of hand
I understand the want to distance from USSR-like societies
I don't think many people want that back
maybe some russian nationalists
but it's not like the dictatorship was something unforseen that happened without anyone seeing it coming
russia under the tsar consisted of mainly illiterate peasants so they didn't even attempt democracy
at least not democracy as we know it
Did the original revolutionaries have democracy in mind at all?
iirc there was some local democracy, but the big things were done by the state
not on a state level
russian revolutionaries that is
in europe they probably had
but those failed mostly
That spooks me though
The people who implemented communism failed hard on that front
And I don't see how you could do it any other way
They'd get voted out at the first famine
it's not like it was the leaders' fault the famines happened
Well when you kill those who own the farms because they're bourgeoisie
they called the kulaks as it is technically incorrect to call them bourgeoissie
