Commiunism

Finally, some good food

Yes, that's implicit - you build something in order to use/live in it. The end I was talking about was referring to the end of the gradual transformation from capitalism to communism, it's not an instant process.

It is, pretty much every communist including ML's here fully accept and support the notion that communism at the end is going to be stateless, as the state itself would become unnecessary. The differences come from the means which this end would be achieved.

it isn't, so jesus is also an idiot (sorry but this is true.....)

What you described is pretty much how electorialism works in the real world, both in the past and the present, and thanks to that we live in an absolute utopia.

But on a more serious note, liberal democracy is just an illusion of freedom and an illusion of "power for the people". In reality, it's been meticulously crafted to only benefit the rich with its barriers for entry designed to keep the poor out - for instance, one has to get an expensive education to even get started (or have a load of money to buy a degree outright), having enough money to fund a platform for yourself to get enough supporters to form a party, then do expensive advertising of your party's message, having funds to combat any kind of political meddling from the competition, connections that one wealthy enough might get are also incredibly helpful, etc. There's a reason why the vast majority of politicians parents links are blue on wikipedia - it's not a meritocracy.

There's many more critiques like how checks & balances are there to keep the capitalist system and not necessarily to stop abuses as certain populists are demonstrating nowadays, how people are essentially powerless after voting for the next 4-5 years, electorialism being used to distract from class struggle (via reactionary politics, culture wars) which keeps people from turning against the rich properly and instead choosing which side of the rich one wants to support, etc.

In short, if there's going to be any meaningful, good change for us workers, it isn't going to come from electorialism, and its important to be aware of this fact, not grow too complacent.

At the same time, there's no revolution to be seen, partly precisely because of the things outlined above so yeah...

(Allegedly) murders a healthcare CEO

The only thing he achieves is online liberal LARP and some fantasies from some angsty guys/girls

Gonna go against the grain here, but some of you might need to think about what was actually achieved via this kind of activism. It didn't weaken the healthcare industry or the ruling class in any way, as the murdered executive got replaced quite quickly, other healthcare executives got spooked for around a week and removed their contract info from websites - that's it. Individual or small-group "adventurist" acts like these aren't going to achieve anything.

If we're talking about the big, rich EU counties, then yes. But for poorer ones, EU has genuinely fucked some of them over via imposing austerity and offloading debts onto the working classes of those nations, often via strong arming.

Greece is an explosive example of this, being fucked over by their incompetent government, sure, but also by Troika who literally strong armed them into taking bailouts fully knowing they wouldn't be able to pay them thanks to extreme austerity measures, leading into an even deeper crisis. When Greeks elected anti-austerity parties who resisted, Troika cut off Greek banks from emergency funding, leading them into a collapse and offered an even more predatory deal afterwards. Even when looking at the more successful crises (Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Cyprus), it's debatable whether or not Troika did more bad than good with their imposed austerity.

Wall of text, blah blah - EU is still overall good, don't get me wrong, but it's idiotic to say that they're free from criticism and anyone who does so is just deep in the propaganda.

nah, ur just crazy

plot twist - they're gonna do a whole revolution just to go back to pre-trump liberal status quo with dems in charge + maybe some healthcare (dont count on it)

It literally is working, and ironically, many people nodding in agreement to this post are very likely to be affected as well without realizing.

Wonder what kind of narrative this is, been seeing it more and more from conservatives trying to paint Canadian government as terrible and authoritarian. Could it be an attempt at creating a casus belli for the US to invade Canada and turn them into 51st state?

but then there won't be enough motor oil for fishies to swim in..........
