I am trying to understand as much as possible about socialism as well as other leftist ideologies, and looking around i’ve seen many being critical about democratic socialism, but i honestly struggle to understand why that is such a bad idea as some say. I get that it’s incompatible with ML, but it doesn’t sound so unrealistic and unreasonable to me, so… can you explain? Excuse the ignorance, but as i said socialism is a new topic for me, i mean no offense to anybody
They are socialists. They may not be effective, they may not hold the values you like, but they are socialists. I dont like the fact that current socialist Burkina Faso just illegalized my people, but they are socialists. Us does not mean carbon copy.
… they arent socialist enough . you just said that they aremt socialist enough yourself!
Whats the point of being part of a big group of people if most of them are ineffective at achieving the group’s goals? Nothing is substantial unless it can substatiate notable changes. Even 9 billiin DemSocs are less substantial, less worthy of our time than EVEN 1 real commie or anarchist.
Would anyone here trade 9 billion DemSocs for 1 Vladimir Lenin? (And you all better answer that question correctly…)
No need. You are right. But you are right primarily in Ethos not Pathos.
