most white families are slowly sinking out of the middle class and are trying to really on old systems which succeeded in the past at giving them reasonable legislature

ie the Republican party and conservatism in general

while simultaneously denying other groups that they dont much care about any say

i.e. the alt right

*care much about

Really the problem with marketing socialism now is the name itself

there are too many pissants who don't know anything about any form of Marxism and just want free stuff

and people who think socialism = they want my toothbrush

that's why i tend to refer to specific ideologies first and socialism/communism later

for example, when i talk about my beliefs, while i believe myself to be a socialist/communist first and a trotskyist second, i still open with the term trotskyism as not to instantly turn people off

Leon Trotsky makes me hotsky

ayyyy

out of the 3 big boise of the Russian Revolution he's probably my favorite

Although Lenin was onto something with the NEP

Mao was pretty cool to though

yeah he was alright

I think in the end all these figures failed in the long game though

and for the most part I think moving forward anything like the authoritarian communism of the past is going to be a relic

yeah thats why i try to adapt trotsky's theories for the modern day

Invade India the most applicable one

oof

I think Trotsky was a little too ideologically idealistic and a tad bonkers but my god that man could have gone far if it weren't for a certain ice pick wielding mustachioed menace

well hey, when you have 3 flawed leaders you can't be too

***p i c k y***

but yeah the dude was the best kind of crazy

there's a vid by alternate history hub that, while not getting most of the stuff right, nails trotsky

here it is

yeah authoritarian communism wont work again

this time we gotta bait and switch the workers harder goyim

oof

Lol

I think in this day and age however a little bit of authority can go a long way

yeah

thats why all the cool kids believe in soviet democracy

its a tough one

you don't want bourgeois elements undermining the system

But you dont want to repress people either

all the cool kids like me

its kind of ironic but as a socialist I really think people in general are quite dumb. But I think the solution is instead of making the choice for the people its rather to expose the bad choices
