  • No one is saying that its only the bourgeois that are homophobic. But it is the fact that liberal democracy only works for them that makes it so a party can rule as a minority.

    Generally these bans are not popular. Not with enough people that they would pass. Everywhere a referrendum has occured the anti-trans side has lost, as with abortion as well. These aren't popular policies.

    The anti-democratic way our institutions are set up allows a party to hold a majority of power with a minority of support. That is what the bourgeois want and care about, and what will not change through

  • You think proof I'm talking bullshit is going to change my mind tankie? Think again. I'm on to your pathetic technique of citing scholars who who agree with you even though they don't share your ideology, so it seems like neutral corroboration. It's not going to sway me because I'm not going to read it anyway.

    Why would i read, when I'm akready right about everything? Checkmate red fash tankie!

  • Very interesting point, now come this way

  • Why are you lot so obsessed with reddit? Have ever considered that the way people speak on reddit is just the way people talk in general? Reddit did not invent linguistic trope. I digress.

  • That's the thing about it, its not very democratic and a person's vote isn't worth much by design

  • He could not tell a lie, but he could own slaves and make money on crooked land deals

  • Do not put your faith in such trinkets of deceit. Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things

  • Cause the Founding Father's. Ever heard of them? Probably not. You have to have a very high IQ to know about them and how they are perfect.

    Bet you didn't consider that did you tankie?

  • That's a good point. I am glossing over actual reasons why a liberalised China was viewed as being possible, and wasn't a completely unreasonable view.

    I think that how i personally remember it from the time was the arrogance these views were expressed with. The way they treated China's liberalization as a forgone conclusion that is the only possible outcome. It was still in the thick of The End of History, and there was a lot of unearned triumphilism from the US establishment

  • Yeah, thats seems like reasonable rationalizations the blob would have had at that time. But personally i see it as End of History(tm) logic, and their religious belief in markets leading to all the good things they want that was behind these delusions.
