Maybe tankies will, but they dont need to attack democracy. We did that for them. Democracy is only as good as your median civics and economics education level, it seems.
Who is we here? I don’t think most countries have actual democracy. Certainly not the US. But the problem is not education (though, depending on what country you live in, perhaps that is of serious concern)
Democracy should extend to the workplace, and is only really possible without capitalism. You can never remove the influence of private capital on politics under capitalism.
For clarity. I am a socialist, I just took issue with the idea that socialism = whatever warped idea tankies have.
fr though, coal mining could be really cool if it didn’t kill you, ruined your body and salaries were appropriate. Operating and maintaining giant shearing machines and excavators, drones, explosives.
Oh, and those fields work themselves under capitalism? That’s the problem with capitalists: they all expect to be the 1% and not the poor guy working the fields.
Although capitalism has a solution for the fields, right? Prison labor and illegal aliens getting less than minimum wage. A great solution - as long as you aren’t the one on the field.
Although with high unemployment and mass deportations who knows how long Americans can deligate these jobs to these people.
“The problem with communists is, they all expect to be the overseer, and not the poor guy working in the field”
The problem with capitalism is that everyone expects to be the billionaire, not the poor guy working full time while homeless.
Socialism without democracy isn’t socialism, in my opinion.
Watch the tankies lose their minds over this…

It’s a real shame it kinda sucks in general.

Except that all of their needs would be met, so not really poor huh?
