    I love talking politics with people and I have talked to A LOT of libs. Most agree that we need to tax the corporations more, the capitalists have gotten too greedy, we should spend more of the defense budget on healthcare, infrastructure etc.

    Not a single one of them thinks that revolution should be anywhere on the table. And when some of them finally admit that China is doing something good, it’s only because China is not socialist, it is a capitalist country! That’s why it is able to raise the living standards of its people because they have adopted some of our capitalist policies! But unlike us, they’re totalitarians!

      Even when they support revolution it’s a very sanitized one where all you gotta do is guillotine like maybe a few thousand particularly bad billionaires and then everyone else just sorta rolls with it, cuz everything will work so great then the Kulaks will be sold on socialism. People don’t want to recognize the amount of militancy you need to fight regression.
