No joke. There's so much nuance thats just glossed over.
Any country can democratically decide to democratize the means of production (that's what communism is, it's like us, but with EXTRA democracy) Marx said it was inevitable. I think he's right.
Neo-libs find it impossible that a society would actively choose a government that puts the importance of everyones quality of life, establishing a medium or high floor thru social programs, ahead of making money.
Cuz how could anything be more important than making money, amirite?
Reminds me of conservatives screaming voter fraud. Cuz if a democrat won then there's was clearly fraud; no REAL American would vote for a Democrat, right boys, right?!?
Like holy fuck people. Do you ever hear yourselves? Have any kind of introspection?
(R's screaming voter fraud... They are the party of projection, if there's fraud, id check Republican wins first. Notably the Senate wins of Rand Paul, Mitch McConnel, Susan Collins and the Fuckface from South Carolina...all were polling waaaaay down before election day. Turns out they ALL had a +17 point swing. +17. That sure seems weird...what, we can't check those machines? REALLY?!)
