hell, the bolshevik party was actually a very small minority in the beginning
If a shit life is all it takes for a successful revolution, the US is destined to fall.
that level of hatred simply does not exist in the US right now
when it was still the russian social democratic labor party
I mean, there's a renewed interest in socialism and most young people hate capitalism at the very least
this makes them ripe for agitation and education on marxism.
baby boomers were also very supportive of socialism
we had a lot of protests and movements
mid to late 20th century united states
"The Harvard University survey, which polled young adults between ages 18 and 29, found that 51 percent of respondents do not support capitalism. Just 42 percent said they support it."
I think this is a bit different than that, baby boomers were fairly conservative, and the millennials are much more open to radicalization
even better
I think the fact that Bernie Sanders almost secured the nominee for the democrats is a good sign of that
Yes, GWB killed more people than Stalin.
@Sorghagtani Beki Exactly
even the DSA has marxist caucuses in it that are beginning to grow in number
Capitalism reduces the material conditions of the worker, and poor conditions lead to revolutions.
I've always supported a return to a more New Deal Democracy that the Democratic party was known for in the past
right now it's a party of neoliberals
We don't need that happening
we need better than that, actually
we need workers to be entitled to the full value of their labor
You don't believe socialism can ever come democratically?
well
not really
The US' "democracy" is a joke
If there's enough public support, it'll happen regardless of what political elites think
it's a pissing contest of who can take more bribes, literally
@Sorghagtani Beki then you get allende'd
unless everyone is armed
and ready to defend themselves
@Sorghagtani Beki The only way to salvage your position is to show an improvement of worker conditions in the future of the US and a reduction in the disparity of income.
Although DeLeon did advocate socialists getting elected to enough offices where they change the constitution to exclude capitalists
lmao
Of course, no one is against that
that would never happen tbh
and worker conditions and reduction in the disparity of income do happen under New Deal Democracy
True, but the problem is that it creates a lull or complacency
I believe the socialist argument is that social democracy would always eventually turn into neoliberalism?
