    Damn, I wonder why that’d keep happening. It’s almost like there is some fundamental element in a capitalist system that makes reform impossible. Fuck eh, what do you do to resolve the inherent brutalities of such a system? If only there was some way to identify those fundamental elements through like, the work of thinking about it really deeply with other people who want to end that system. That sucks though because obviously people are just bad and we should just keep doing this because the political compass memes told me that history is super simple actually.

      Empower democracy > the democratic government hold people accountable and redistributes wealth to provide a minimum standard of living for all > problem solved permanently.

        Empower democracy > the Democratic government hold people accountable and redistribute wealth > get fucking couped by the USA like Salvador Allende, Gaddafi or Mosaddeq, or literally bombed until millions of your citizens die like in Vietnam.

          At least you had the balls to drop the flimsy venier that this was about means of production and admit it’s a fucking East V. West Tankie Propoganda.

        Oh of course, we just gotta empower democracy and everything will be fine. Why didn’t anyone else ever think of that? How did you access such remarkable knowledge?

          Because a large enough number of people have been convinced not to try it, fucking it up for the rest of us.
