Celebrating an increase in life expectancy from 30 to 40 years old is not remotely the win you think it is.

Classic Hexbear take that is not remotely based in reality.

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???

Don't forget to send me a text when the revolution starts, comrade.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but the Allende thing is more a US intervention problem that a democratic socialism problem. Certainly Mohammad Mosaddegh would agree.

Present some options that have broad appeal and would be accepted by the proletariat. I don't know if you've looked around the US, but the voting proletariat generally find centrist policies to be "far left".

How do you have your people's revolution without the people?

I'm talking about Emmanuel Goldstein. Anyone I can possibly list will never meet your purity test.

It's clear you never studied US politics if you think that is remotely true. The Gilded Age and the Great Depression briefly pushed America away from corporate interests towards policy that benefited the working class. We averted overt fascism a la the Business Plot and the ratfucking that Smedley Butler disclosed while being the most badass anti-capitalist ever.

You're not a revolutionary socialist, you're a larper who won't do anything to better the world other than wait for this revolution like it's the second coming of Christ.

You guys are the QAnon of the left.

There are numerous democratic socialists who are in Congress, you just aren't paying attention.

Run for office. There have been many spoilers from genuine grassroots campaigns. Don't want to do either? Keep coping and seething online.

I wish we lived in a functional democracy where you can go "high, when they go low". The only thing that has resulted in is eroding the democratic system by ceeding power that undemocratic individuals will keep for themselves.

Edit: To add, I believe that Michelle Obama was right when we said that, but the world has radically changed since then.

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.

Oh silly you.

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.

I support what are realistic policies actually will push the status quo in the direction you want.

Larping on the internet waiting for a revolution to occur seems like a nice fantasy.

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?

You're doing a lot of coping with that seething.

An aggressive communist with no sense of how the world works could be a child? You're the most self aware Hexbear user.

Also lol to "dude chill". I'm not the one fantasizing about murdering people.

She would make a great staffer in the Lubyanka.

I'm innudated with endless notifications from you dweebs, mistakes happen.

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