Did you all notice that week or so of utter shock from federated Lemmy liberals when they saw takes to the left of themselves? (hexbear.net)

I don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

How do you guys feel about democratic socialism? I feel like it's the only realistic way to get socialism without bloodshed - though I also understand the US is a long goddamn way away.

Be gentle pls, I'm still learning ❤️

Edit: thanks for all the replies!! There's a ton to read through so bear with me

This nonviolent stuff'll get you killed - Charles Cobb

instructive example; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende

Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens was a Chilean physician and socialist politician who served as the 28th president of Chile from 3 November 1970 until his death on 11 September 1973. He became the first Marxist to be elected president in a liberal democracy in Latin America.

As president, Allende sought to nationalize major industries, expand education and improve the living standards of the working class. He clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état supported by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
