    Most socialists are against capitalism while a lot of them ooh and ahh over a coffeemaker they just got off amazon. The people bitching here in this thread are using capitalism to do it. I really think we can have a world where communities and the government help each other, it doesn’t have to be like it is now. It actually has been pretty good in some portions of the last 100 years. Definitely not perfect though. A democracy sucks, but it’s the best option there is.

      Democracy is a terrible form of government; until you consider the alternatives.

        You fucked up the quote and don’t actually support true democracy, just representative democracy, all while conflating democracy with liberalism like they’re inseparable concepts.
