so it was a strawman

2019-12-18 02:53:58 UTC

2019-12-18 02:54:07 UTC  

What kind of democracy do you propose then?

2019-12-18 02:54:23 UTC  

(keep in mind "fuck you" isn't a very convincing argument either)

2019-12-18 02:54:33 UTC  

Someone wants democracy? kek

2019-12-18 02:55:03 UTC  

Did he not just state he was a communist, though.

2019-12-18 02:55:05 UTC  

Can you explain a form of democracy that isn't subject to the same flaws I've already described?

2019-12-18 02:55:17 UTC  

Class is inevitable and a natural thing.

2019-12-18 02:55:25 UTC  

@Enkrum dude said he wants to make the means of production democratically controlled

2019-12-18 02:55:42 UTC  

Good luck getting anywhere beyond workplace bureaucracy.

2019-12-18 02:56:08 UTC  

representative democracy. the workplace should be organized into unions the represent the interests certain groups, who will come together to make decisions on the process of production

2019-12-18 02:56:25 UTC  

im a fan of the ideas of the socialist labor party of america and daniel de leon

2019-12-18 02:56:35 UTC  

socialist industrial unionism

2019-12-18 02:58:02 UTC  

workplace is already pretty bureaucratic but in a top-down sort of way. you might as well have a say in how its run

2019-12-18 02:58:22 UTC  

And so

2019-12-18 02:58:28 UTC  

Hypothetically

2019-12-18 02:58:38 UTC  

Are unions immune to thinking stupid shit?

2019-12-18 02:58:53 UTC  

also @Ater Votum it isnt and ur appealing to nature which isnt always a good thing

2019-12-18 02:59:08 UTC  

no one's immune to thinking stupid shit

2019-12-18 02:59:31 UTC  

but hopefully if they do other workers would be able to shut them down thru the democratic process

2019-12-18 02:59:53 UTC  

class has been an intergral element in almost off of human culture, its arogant to think that its not apart of human nature when even animals have a caste system in place

2019-12-18 03:00:04 UTC  

What if most of the people think something stupid?

2019-12-18 03:00:20 UTC  

Then they democratically shut down the people who are correct

2019-12-18 03:00:23 UTC  

^ the masses are retarded

2019-12-18 03:00:28 UTC  

people individually are smarty

2019-12-18 03:00:35 UTC  

but once a group has formed

2019-12-18 03:00:41 UTC  

most will follow whoever takes control

2019-12-18 03:00:59 UTC  

@adolphus the sorrowful thats wrong, there are great examples in both the USSR and China.

2019-12-18 03:01:09 UTC  

I'll use an example personal to you @adolphus the sorrowful

2019-12-18 03:01:16 UTC  

I don't know much about you but

2019-12-18 03:01:21 UTC  

which is why you need a largely educated population... but anyways. what if the sky was fuckin purple? you could go on and on about what ifs. democracy isn't a flawless system, but its been the one to be the most efficient in organizing human society for near millennia

2019-12-18 03:01:34 UTC  

I know you've been convinced democracy is good

2019-12-18 03:01:49 UTC  

it is generally speaking

2019-12-18 03:01:49 UTC  

Which is an example

2019-12-18 03:01:55 UTC  

Of a stupid belief

2019-12-18 03:01:58 UTC  

That is prevalent

2019-12-18 03:02:00 UTC  

@adolphus the sorrowful the modern world has the most access to all of human knowledge yet we fall for the same tricks as past ages

2019-12-18 03:02:07 UTC  

wow you blew my mind

2019-12-18 03:02:09 UTC  

fuck you lol

2019-12-18 03:02:18 UTC  

>cant argue so he goes for the insults
