You must hate all countries then because they all use aspects of capitalism to further their gains. I agree though the goal is to ween off of capitalism into proletariat owned socialism. Unfortunately for tankies I won’t be used as a tool for their wanton violence against those that disagree. My demsoc flavor emphasizes humanism over hatred.
i do hate the burgeoise plotting for the literal destruction of the planet so they can maintain their obscene power, yes. i don’t know how you define “aspects of capitalism”.
no use empathizing with so and so intangible concept, though. i care about actual success in improving workers’ lives and smashing imperialism, and the MLs historically excel at that. honourable mention to anarchists too.
Aspects of capitalism: private businesses, private homeownership, private agriculture, classism, investments into foreign countries, foreign investment into said country, etc
As long as you’re not a tankie or authoritarian I don’t really have a problem with many of the particulars. Just know lots of MLs are tankies.
i know where tankie comes from, but its just used to further divide the left tbh.
the difference between the “good” MLs and the “bad” ones is completely unclear. sometimes people say “tankie” to just mean “leftist”
private businesses, private homeownership, private agriculture, classism, investments into foreign countries, foreign investment into said country,
investing in other countries is not necessarily capitalism, and while transitioning away from it you are bound to still have private property for a while. demsocs especially, no?
communism -ie a propertyless, classless society- has never been achieved.
being a neoliberal has nothing to do with being leftist.
I agree, I’m not a neo-lib, I’m a demsoc.
ooooo premium neolib
No dawg, you’re thinking of socdems. Which are still better than tankies.
if you think capitalism is better than leftism, you are not a leftist.
