       @yogthos Uh...no, thanks.Nyet, spasiba!Let's not glorify one person over others ( Marx, Lenin, Jesus, Rand, whoever ).We don't need a State of the People to replace the Capitalist State. Revolutionaries soon become the new despots.We need a real democracy.In a true democracy, there are no authorities. Decisions are made collectively. People choose their experts, and are always free to change their minds.Here's a work-in-progress:https://blog.ownlifeful.com/2021/12/direct-democracy-re-imagined.htmlThoughts invited cordially!

       @ashwin actual democracy that's possible in the world as it is today is the dictatorship of the proletariat.Marxism-Leninism provides a clear path towards achieving that which has been proven to work time and again.The value of Lenin is precisely in that he has addressed your arguments over a century ago, and provided a template for achieving real meaningful change that improves the lives of the working majority.https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/

       @yogthos "Marxism-Leninism provides a clear path towards achieving that which has been proven to work time and again."Your sense of humor, my friend, is superlative! 😂 The Soviet Union was a paradise of social justice. There was no such thing as the KGB. People did not spy on each other. They lived with the spirit of goodwill. There were no famines due to a centralized controlled economy. Individuality blossomed. Freedom of expression was cherished above everything. The press was "Pravda"!

       @ashwin I grew up in USSR, but yeah tell me more about how I was oppressed.Meanwhile, quality of nutrition improved after the Soviet revolution, and the last time USSR had a famine was in 1940s. Even the CIA acknowledges this. but here you are.https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp84b00274r000300150009-5And let's just see what George Lucas has to say about freedom of expression.It's so pathetic to see how western "left" continues to carry water for capitalism today, rejecting real world solutions.
