In the US I can point to specific moments where we see how democracy is degraded by the pedophile class, such as in 2010 when the courts struck down Section 203 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, allowing for super PACs to corrupt politics. Similarly there has been a loosening on monopolies more recently. These are slippery slope items, not inevitabilities. .
Unions in the Industrial Revolution, followed by a period of degradation as people got comfortable, followed by FDR’s coalition, followed by a period of degradation. I’m not arguing things were ever perfect, I’m more so arguing that in any system, as people get comfortable corruption increases because there is less memory of why the protections exist in the first place. If the US survives this one, I hope we invest more in civics education, in addition to thr advances we made in education prior, and make voting mandatory. And introduce ranked choice. But I’m failing to see what makes communism uniquely corruption proof - especially considering that there is a single politic party that controls the elections.
The reason why concessions erode in capitalist states is because capitalists control the state, and only give concessions when they need to. Bread and circuses aren’t democracy. Ranked choice, mandatory voting cannot change the fact that the US is a capitalist system.
Moreover, I never said socialist systems or communism are “corruption proof,” just that the class in control is the working class. This means society works for and represents the working classes.
Also unsure why you dodged that what you stated you hope happens implicitly states that you are okay with imperialism continuing.
No? It’s the socialist system that allows for democracy, without socialism the only democracy is for the capitalist class.
Again, how?
