China would like to disagree.
Western culture won't work like that. Germany is about as far as we go, and that's still capitalism. |

If you’re gonna use violence to enforce your will I’m gonna call you an asshole.
Tell that to the 19th century Haitian slaves I'm sure they'd love to hear your opinion on their revolutionary action |

This has never been reduced to practice. Completely theoretical. You need to find people where they are, not where they should be. |

Because the bourgeoisie impede any attempt. And you're wrong as GDR is proof it did work. Nazi Germany is capitalism's response to Communism. |

I know several former East Germans. None of them was happy. They all agree that things are better now. You don't have a good example. To the extent that the bourgeoisie are able to vote, buy political ads, hire private police, use private schools which reinforce their preferences, etc this will never fly. Again you need to find a third way that is popular. My solution is regulation, but I would happily jump on a bandwagon that has people on it. GDR is not that bandwagon. |

Very glib. My point remains though - if this stuff were popular, it would be used more. So why don't we have it in the US? How do you propose to get around that? |
