so just what we have but with more workplace democracy?
whats to say this will change anything? democratic elections are extremely manipulatable. when the people with power can control media and physical space, democracy doesn't mean people will get whats best for them
my point isn't that democracy is the wrong system, it's probably the best kind of governance humanity has invented so far. my point is just that it still has TONS of flaws and they are worth criticizing. you can criticize a democratic state for the results it's democratic system has produced without calling it not a democracy
I’m a communist so I’m giving you a mild answer
The reality is that “democracy” in the sense of people being politically represented in an effective manner will not ever be achieved in the political structure that we have right now

ok yeah that's pretty much what i think as well
a free-market democracy will never accurately represent the will of the people
Because they’re geniuses and visionaries and there’s totally no political corruption in the American political system even though Reagan entirely legalized it
Nancy pelosi to joe manchin to jeff bezos to mark zuckerberg
Idk how none of these multi millionaires and multi billionaires arent considered oligarchs
In Bush-Gore, a very popular democratic socialist won the election and the electors acted faithlessly? What does your previous post that I responded to have anything to do with Bush-Gore?
Anyway, I’m done derailing the thread.
Please educate yourself on the 2000 Florida recount

Because the constitution says we’re the good guys
yo what are those faces back there?
It was a beautifful picture. They defaced it, now it's gone forever. That's what the islamists do. They like to erase history, anything before muhammad and too far after it is bad. Only 7th century crap is allowed.

The point is not that but the political system will immediately move to corrupt itself to achieve its political agendas
even more political power is a pretty big reach
yes US billionaires have undoubtedly way more influence than they should and we should probably start calling them oligarchs, but yo russian billionaires are literally in direct control of what putin (dude with almost absolute political power) does. in other words, russia's oligarchs are one step removed from literally directly controlling everything in the country without any extra hoops to jump thru or whatever
at least in the US rich folks have to pretend to not be in direct control and jump thru hoops like lobbying n s***.
point is this is a retarded tweet. spirit is there but no there's a pretty obvious gap in power between us billionaires and russian billionaires. guy coulda just said "why dont we call US billionaires oligarchs when they have almost as much power as russian oligarchs?" but chose to be wrong
I still can't get over the surreal scene of Israeli's protesting the invasion/hostile takeover
The action that are being taken against Russia really makes me wonder what the next move is going to be from Russia cuz they getting f***ed by from allsides right now. They might do something fuuucked up

You’re just randomly veering off and trying to argue something that we weren’t even talking about.
I reiterate again. In the real world, NOTHING ever works perfectly or is guaranteed to result in X. Everything is immensely complex And there will always be outliers. We can only do the best we can. There is nothing and will never be anything perfect out there.
