revolutionary ideologies require instability to usurp the current one in place

but ok

especially communism

so socdem is essentially bread and circuses?

appeasing workers with concessions like those made in social democracy would make communism harder to realize

you don't think we can slowly ween ourselves to communism Democratically?

Of course not

I blame the rise of communism in America on egalitarianism

Communism has a massive leap something only a revolution or martial law could establish smoothly

egalihedon

well that's true but you can get to a point where govt has so much power granted to it Democratically that it usurps the Democracy

like in Venezuela

democracy gay RT

I'm actually pro Democracy

2 idiots > 1 intellectual

I'm not saying it's perfect

democracy TRIPLE GAY

Democracy is one of the most violently established systems of political governance ever

its killed more than communism and fascism combined along with shifting the global overton window

genuinely one of the worst things ever estblished

Authoritarian Govts somehow are able to achieve in seemingly impossible task of being Gayer than Democracies.. so.. @PunishedMuskovy

It's the lesser of evils i guess

Democracy works if the net contributors to the society are the only ones allowed to vote

@Gerçek ill take mussolini over trump

But now liberal democracies constantly hand power to actual non-citizens

@Strangelove plenty of idiots still contribute we call them public servants and manual laborers

I'd take Jefferson over anybody else tbh

Lemme get a uhh Peron please

<:chad:508484033513259028>

or a Gaddafi

Course the irony is in today's world Democratic governments do the exact opposite of what the people voted so...

The original founders of the US were some of the smartest men of their time

its a shame the American system is rotten to the core now

all systems degenerate over time

the original founders of the US had valid criticisms of monarchy but ironically fell into every flaw of a constitutional republic

trump could be getting so much shit done if the system was authoritarian

America has in many ways fared better than Europe

The "powers to be" view people as nothing more than economic units, you are to serve the economic machine at all costs.

They want people to be solely dependent on the state
