I am trying to understand as much as possible about socialism as well as other leftist ideologies, and looking around i’ve seen many being critical about democratic socialism, but i honestly struggle to understand why that is such a bad idea as some say. I get that it’s incompatible with ML, but it doesn’t sound so unrealistic and unreasonable to me, so… can you explain? Excuse the ignorance, but as i said socialism is a new topic for me, i mean no offense to anybody
Democratic socialism is socialism based on the will of the people via voting. People here support communism which generally includes revolution and is far less likely to happen in the USA since most people will need to slowly be familiarized with the benefits. Other countries may vary depending on their history and relationship with communist countries. But if you try to support the ideas of democratic socialism here, they’ll eventually just remove your posts. Unfortunately there isn’t a good place on Lemmy for presenting ideas for socialism without someone saying everything you know was imprinted on you by capitalism then deleting your stuff. Either drink the Kool aid or you’re not invited.
tell me somewhere it has worked without exploiting people in a capitalistic way and i’ll be sold.
Can’t talk about these things here for the reasons above.
i’ll ask the mods if you would be censored from saying the name of a single country for you then.
No, been down this path before. Don’t feel like getting banned or silenced. This is ml after all.
too bad then, they said you were allowed to name not one but two countries, but no more before being censored for being too lib. guess we will never know now.
