Winston Churchill ascending to Prime minister without an election and then promptly killing about 3 million in Bengal alone doesn't count then?
Not a smart person, can someone explain:
Why is an electoral system where 2/3 of the house is unelected and the third branch is indirectly elected via an electoral college seen as democratic?
Like, I live in the UK so I can't really talk about antidemocratic systems gestures at the lords, but this doesn't seem like a system that allows for a person's vote to be worth much.
Why would the Commissar of Military and Naval affairs under Lenin, who was instrumental in founding the red army and oversaw the purging of Mahknovists and other anarchist elements in the early USSR be less authoritarian than Stalin?
OK, that's as good an answer as any.
Salvador Allende got couped three years after his election. Are there any ways you can think to prevent a foreign power from undermining future hypothetical socialist governments that wouldn't be authoritarian?
The fact that you think Trotsky would've been less authoritarian than Stalin betrays that you don't know shit about him yourself.
Not a socialist, but I am genuinely curious.
Is there any socialist revolution that you wouldn't class a fascist?
You never heard of paraphrasing?
Illiterate and bigoted, name a more iconic duo.
TL:DR you lost an argument and want to make it everyone else's problem.
The emote problem seems like it'd be really annoying, I've stopped using them when I'm not on hexbear communities (though sometimes I forget what instance I'm on sorry in advance).
As for the "wrong type of leftist" sort of stuff, hexbear tries to be a big tent community for leftists (we've got all sorts over there although it's admittedly heavily leaning towards marxist-leninists) and it tends to be a much more welcoming site outside of those overcrowded threads on active where everyone is arguing.
Hopefully the chaos will die down soon enough.
pays for the children of non-working people (there's a shitload of subsidies going into their pockets),
Do children deserve to starve because their parents aren't employed?
