You said you supported Social Democracy not Democratic Socialism.

What a terrible mistake to make! Perhaps you should have assumed it was the correct orientation of the two words that are spelled exactly the same.

The fact that you think these are the same proves the original posters point that you should read theory.

I have, but thanks for the suggestion.

The abolishinists were mean to me. : ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The tankies were being tankies, not unexpected.

[โ€“] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

youre getting into arguments where you don't know what the words mean, and then acting indignant when people point that out

That's very ableist of you to conflate dyslexia with stupidity.

Assuming people are using words in the way they are widely and commonly accepted to mean (I mean, just look at Wikipedia for an easy starting point) is not a bad thing?

People keep telling me that I shit my pants based off the way I smell and the growing brown stain on my pants but they're all tankies because they're all wrong

Your beef is with the English Language not me. How is it my fault that you misidentified yourself? Funnily enough, you still don't identify your actual political position. It's clear that the only political position you'd take is what gives you an advantage in the argument. Fucking debatebros lol.

I have, but thanks for the suggestion.

Reading so much theory that you confuse two different political ideologies. Sometimes I read so much theory that that I claim to be a monarchist when I really mean to say I'm an anti-monarchist. Obviously the other person should have understood what I meant. Your literally on a communication medium that allows you to plan and edit your comments. You have no excuse for making this grade school mistake.

Debatebro? That's what Hexbear does best.

I would actually love to engage in good faith discussions, but Hexbear users only operate in bad faith, particularly by sealioning. Like clockwork, you don't engage in ideas but rather give reading assignments.

I've read Das Kapital and agree with virtually all the premises about how society is unfair to those who actually generate the surplus value and think that we need to fix a system that breaks cyclically, as Karl Marx correctly predicted in volume I. The only solutions I've seen presented are a total revolution a la 1917, which occured before globalization. Anything close to this in the current globalized world will kill at minimum hundreds of millions globally due to interdependence on products that Marx would consider "needs", such as medications and medical equipment like dialysis machines.

The difference between you and me is that I'd rather work to reestablish democracy away from capital interests. I don't want a dictatorship, I want a functional democracy. Propaganda is often used to disillusion the working class from democracy, and if you don't vote in elections then you are clearly part of the problem.

Edit: Lmao. Citing"theory" gets crickets from the people who endlessly say "you just haven't read theory". It's like they don't know what to do with someone who reads to understand, rather than "reading" just to virtue signal.

two words that are spelled exactly the same

Social and Socialism are not spelled the same, neither are Democracy and Democratic.

[โ€“] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What incredible insight. The word 'social' is referring to 'socialism' and so is the relation between 'democracy' and 'democratic'.

It would take an idiot to mix these up, right?

[โ€“] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The word 'social' is referring to 'socialism' and so is the relation between 'democracy' and 'democratic'.

I guess social security = socialism security in your world? Social welfare programs are not socialism and if your political education included anything beyond Elizabeth Warren's policy page you'd know that.

[โ€“] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, social policies are not socialism, however, they do generally benefit the working class.

You guys are so worried about centrists that you are ignoring the fact that the US had a far right coup attempt less than three years ago.

[โ€“] commiewithoutorgans@hexbear.net -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the US still has a far right regime in power, and has since 1776. What's your point?

[โ€“] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it has not been far right since 1776. I guess when you make up facts it's easy to prove your point though.

By the way, when's the glorious peoples revolution supposed to begin? More importantly, where are the people???

[โ€“] commiewithoutorgans@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Read Liberalism A Counter History or shut up about shit you don't understand.

The people already revolted in the worlds largest country and their success will convince people to make similar steps once it's made obvious you're being fucked by your far right regimes. The people are hungering in most of the world and they will stand up you brain wormed fucker

[โ€“] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Read this book I just read last month or you don't know anything!

It's funny, no matter how many reading assignments I actually partake in, it's never enough. Perhaps your movement would be more successful if you spent less time alienating anyone right of Ho Chi Minh.

[โ€“] commiewithoutorgans@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then read any fuckin book about this subject before speaking

[โ€“] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Funny you mention that. Whenever I do cite any "theory" that I have read, you well-read individuals somehow always disappear and avoid discussing anything. I'm sure you'll either A) do the same thing or B) move the goalposts all the way to Laos/Cambodia.

Lol is that your best fuckin example? You didn't cite Marx lol you just misunderstood an analysis for a method and made a shit argument. You didn't deserve a good reply and dont now. I'm all for whatever analyses come out to peacefully move forward, but you're just preserving the current world for your benefit not trying to prevent some deaths or something. Millions die yearly to preventable causes which would end with global socialism.

I have never had the opportunity to have a more in-depth discussion because you guys seem more interested in smugly acting more intelligent than everyone, forgetting you need to recruit "people" to have a "people's revolution".

Since you're one of the wise leaders of the revolution, what is your plan to bring your superior ideologies to the masses?
