    A political and economic system is not some random piece of infrastructure, like a solar panel.

    And its also not a magic potion.

    A padlock that can’t hinder an intruder is a bad padlock.

    A political and economic system is not some random piece of infrastructure object, like a solar panel padlock.

    Youre saying a political system can only work if there is not a single aspect that can be taken advantage of? Thats equivalent to every single person being controlled 100% in their actions. If thats your idea of ideal, sure. I guess some people currently being in leading positions would agree with you.

    The US is currently in the middle of a fascist takeover, while being a Democracy (in the past at least). Are you saying Democracy is not a political system worth pursuing because it doesnt work?

      I did not say anything even close to that. I am saying a political system can only work if it can’t be easily overturned. It has nothing to do with how much it controls peoples lives or if it can be taken advantage of.

        So just to be clear, there doesnt currently exist a political system that works, as they all have been overturned multiple times?

          What is this bullshit argument? If a lightbulb stops working after 10 years, is it as useless as a lightbulb that breaks after 10 minutes?

          can’t be easily overturned

          Did I write they have to be impossible to overturn? Why don’t you read what I write more carefully instead of reacting to some made up version of my comment.

            Your argument.

            Why are you implying that real communism would be easily overturned? Its never been implemented.

              The Russian Revolution was communist but the USSR was never communist.

              This whole thread is about communism always collapsing into authoritarianism so quickly it is not even ever “really implemented”.

                So if monarchs would have succeeded in suppressing democracy until today (not very far fetched by the way), that would be proof of Democracy being a bad system?

                Think about what youre even saying.

                    They’re using the logic you introduced in your claim to turn your claim on its head.

                    If you can’t recognize that, then who really has comprehension skill issues?
