Marx upon encountering the average .ml user

I'm working on it, it's just so thicc! 😭
Nothing more threatening to the power of the proletariat than [checks notes] the proletariat voting.
Like, if we managed to implement a legit socialist state by our current state of bourgeois democracy, as unlikely as that is, the chance of capitalists just 'returning' because people vote in a semi-screwed system is pretty fucking unlikely
Marx loved democracy. He viewed it as the most stable path to communism.
We're seeing this play out more and more in Scandinavia.
Its never been observed in any self proclaimed communist nation with an authoritarian state. Probably because authoritarianism is antithetical to the principles of communism.
Yes but the alternative is no democracy. Democracy is flawed even when operating correctly, but it the greatest equalizing tool humanity has ever invented, and Marx recognized it
Without democracy, you simply create a new ruling class. Workers had no say in the Soviet Union, even less than they had in the US back then.
need one with "not gonna lie, i didn't read most of it either"
Why would I read Citizen Santa Claus's book?
Me checking if Hexbears book study group for Kapital Vol. 1 has circled back around to the beginning yet.
Or they just read his leaflet instead of Das Kapital
