i'm talking about reality and every socialist party ever in a democracy has been for fair capitalism. Communism doesn't work except as a dictatorship and even then it doesn't work. Marx was basically wrong about everything except that Savage capitalism in the middle of the industrial revolution was not fair. But unions and socialists/progressives forced reforms that brought working class into the middle class. That's the way it better stay, it isn't that way right now because the GOP has been in charge for 50 years. Great society under Johnson gave us a living wage And Medicare and Medicaid- - a dollar 80 in 1968 is like 14-15 dollars now,,,, Then no reform basically until Obamacare, just GOP giveaway to the rich. Communism will work when humans evolve some more LOL....I am a Democratic fair capitalist....
At least you're admitting now you're a capitalist. There's no such thing as a "democratic capitalist" any more than a democratic king or democratic fief lord or slave master. Capitalism is an authoritarian system of for-profit production that commodifies and exploits human labor (human lives), for the profit of the wealthy capitalist parasite who owns the factory and machinery. There's no democracy in the capitalist workplace hence the constant struggle between the capitalist owner-elites and their workers. Paying a person $100 daily, when they're producing $700 daily in goods and services is thievery. Capitalism alienates people from what they produce and from each other. It also takes control of the government with $.
....or a socialist as it understood by every socialist and socialist party ever.
Really? You're confused. What type of socialism is this? One where socialists are proud to call themselves capitalists? Perpetuating the power of the capitalist imperialists? Karl Marx coined the term "socialism" and communism, yet you ignore everything Marx said about socialism and capitalism, pretending you're both a capitalist and a socialist. You're a contradiction.
You are way out there And don't know the real-world difference between socialism and communism Democracy.
In the "real-world" Marx defined what socialism is and how it's the revolutionary process that leads to communism. Communism is a stateless society, without socioeconomic classes or the need for money. How the hell did you conclude from that, that communism isn't democratic? Your definitions of socialism and communism are absurd. Absurdo.
I'm more interested in what is wrong with our country and who can solve it. Your theory about the future may be right but I don't care, and you better not call it communism or socialism in the English speaking world or it won't work lOL they're terminally confused about it....
I can agree with you on this point. Due to decades of capitalist Cold War propaganda, the American public is completely brainwashed, hence using terms like communism won't fly here. It's a bad idea. Socialism is becoming more common and accepted in the US, especially among the youth, but communism is misunderstood.
