    Keep fighting the good fight. A lot of folks nowadays have grown disenfranchised with the democratic model because they aren’t seeing their particular flavor of progress. We must continue to guide them away from the sugar high that is dictatorial power and channel their energy into the fruits and veggies that is the democratic process. It can bear fruit if we nurture it.

      We no longer have a democratic process. The only logical democratic process is to kill billionaires. Peter Theil not only wants to create a dystopian control, but he wants to literally end the human race. We need militia.

      when your party is this full of stock market sheisters, woke-washed civil rights adversaries, and child touchers forever evading consequences, claiming sole ownership of the concept of “democracy” is stealing valor.

      nobody on the left is saying democracy should end, don’t be stuffing words in people’s mouths

        I think you’re correct that people saying that aren’t on the left, but literally the next reply to wild below yours is saying that.

          that scoffinglizard guy? I have a lot of .ml users blocked so maybe I’m not seeing who you’re seeing but I think that lizard is saying democracy is already failed and we need a militia to restore it. or maybe I’m being too charitable, I’m trying to chill out from earlier and be more good faith-pilled

          I dunno, even commie types like the ones I block at least still pretend to want democracy. Social progress as a whole stops when you stratify legislative power.

            No they make no mention of restoring democracy, their short comment just says our democracy isn’t real and militia needs to murder billionaires.

              maybe this is just my brain worms talking but given the context of the situation it would only really make sense if they were meaning in order to restore democracy. are you trying to get me to look at that person’s account for you or something? why are you trying to point them out to me?

                A pretty sizeable number of anarchists and tankies don’t believe in democratic representation.
