  • If the people want a different system what is the justice in forcing them to maintain a system that does not work for them?

    But they don't, so there is justice in maintaining that system against a small amount of dissidents and foreign sabotage.

    Nothing would happen to me if I advocate for the overthrow if Im not advocating for violence.

    Historically this is how black communists get bullets and white communists get prison cells.

    There even is a specific right to completely replace the government in the constitution.

    And remind me of the mechanism, and how it doesn't involve forces that are invested in the status quo?

  • Hy would creating a system that does not respond to the desires of its population be good?

    How is crushing far right dissent not keeping with the desires of the population?

    What if it becomes obvious that socialism isn't working or if change is needed?

    Then you modify socialism. As socialists keep doing rather successfully. Socialism is an iterative process after all.

    The freedom to replace the government is critical.

    If you started advocating the overthrow of your government what would happen to you?

  • I mean no, they've had a better record than most western countries for most of their existence, gay marriage legalization is just less important than other rights. Especially in places where legally recognized families aren't as heavily emphasized legally or economically.

  • Democracy is when no political party dominates, and the more power doesn't consolidate around a very justifiably popular party the more democratic it is.

    If the democrats started doing good things the last time they had concrete control over all three branches and jumped to something like 80 percent popularity and got 80 percent of the vote, that would be undemocratic. Just like how the CPC has an above 90 percent approval rate according to international observers and holds almost all political offices in China.

  • I know it isn't supported by a large amount of voters. You can look at polling that shows even conservatives are split on it and a lot find it offputting. It is being pushed by the bourgeoisie because they need a scapegoat for their economic system failing while the work to change to a fascist capitalist mode of production and crush anti-capitalist organizing.

    And if it was supported, guess why it would be supported? Because the bourgeois media systemically spread hatred of the group.

    Edit: also what you said isn't related to what I wrote. How does however many people supporting transphobia relate to us being in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie which will not allow us to take effective action against transphobes through its mechanisms?
