I am trying to understand as much as possible about socialism as well as other leftist ideologies, and looking around i’ve seen many being critical about democratic socialism, but i honestly struggle to understand why that is such a bad idea as some say. I get that it’s incompatible with ML, but it doesn’t sound so unrealistic and unreasonable to me, so… can you explain? Excuse the ignorance, but as i said socialism is a new topic for me, i mean no offense to anybody

Its like the difference between radical feminism and proletariam feminism

radical feminism only wants to liberate some women within the confines of capitalistic socoety . So instead of the 8 richest billionaires being all White men radical feminists want it to be so that a disabled Indian , an autistic Guinea person, 5 non-binary Russians, and a White Norwegian man are the 8 richest billionaires.

A proletarian feminist doesnt eant there to be ANY billionaires. They want to see the liberation of all genders from all patriarchal and capitalistic propaganda about each of the genders that we have chosen to place on each gender.... and part of that means that each person of each gender has enough to survive AND thrive...and part of that means the eliminations of all those who can hoard billions of dollars s in resources
