The Ultimate Worrier
lmao, so worried.
Twitter users…
To be fair, that style of rhetoric where you repeat part of the comment you’re epic dunking on is common on Reddit.
Socialism with democracy, but for that to happen the people need to install an temporary authoritarian government to make the transition no?
That depends on if you believe in Stalin’s ideas of a vanguard or Trotskys ideas of a vanguard. According to Trotsky the vanguard of the workers should be democratically elected.
Or, hear me out, you can be a non-Marxist socialist, because socialism does not only mean Marxism.
No, if enough people vote for socialist candidates and they pass a law that says all property now belongs to the state, then it’d be enforced just like any other current law.
The transition could be gradual. If we started nationalizing companies that get too big, and do that for a few generations then the state would own 99% of the economy.
If we keep raising property tax, you’d effectively get to the point where people are leasing the land rather than owning it.
Authoritarian governments never allow themselves to be temporary. Generally speaking, they usually have to be forcibly removed.
What if I told you we could vote ourselves into socialism?
What if I told you every time that happens the bourgeoisie takes control of the military and starts a civil war to maintain their power?

Communism brain rot is trendy nowadays. It’s the last refuge for the tortured mind of the permanently online doomers. It’s almost non existent in real life thankfully
Dude Coyote’ed himself.
Socialism replaces Liberal democracy with something else (depends on the specific ideology).
lib dems mad.
LibDems (and Liberals in general) get pissed when I remind them that Liberalism isnt a left wing ideology.
