There are ways to organize a system of labor that have not been explored or are in the infancy of being considered in the world. Many countries are engaging with more and more socialist ideals every day and they are doing so under current forms of democracy. The world is not binary, everything is a sliding scale with tradeoffs

It doesn't matter what option you choose as long as humans are involved in any form.

Any government that claims to be something in between really just wants you to think it's something in between.

You think existing government can't manipulate you into thinking we are in a democracy?

[–] CanniBallistic_Puppy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There is no such thing as a true democracy. Humans are far too easily corruptible for that.

Which is what the extremist propagenda taught you to think. Good for them.

So is this the whataboutism I've been hearing so much about? Meme didn't even mention communism.

You'll never get anything accomplished then once everyone needs to agree.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's unanimous consensus, not democracy.

[–] Fazoo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Talking about anarchy.

Yes. I mean it as in the Wikipedia definition, not chaos.
