    A great example of how a multiparty system encourages collaboration more than competition, and stops extremists from dominating politics for too long.

      I don’t know if you meant to do this but you actually just hit what the biggest cultural problem we as a species are facing, the current hegemonic hierarchy values competition in place of cooperation/collaboration.

        It’s ideology versus reality. Here on Lemmy I’m sure you’ve seen plenty alienating potential allies over ideological purity. The problem with ideologies is that they are ideal but not real. Clinging to them dogmatically might give you a sense of superiority and insulation from blame in your own mind. But to everyone else you are still a big part of the problem. What is the value of an ideology if it cannot accomplish anything good? What good is ideological purity? Is useless. And yet many people still use it as a substitute for a personality.

          But, I thought that looking like the coolest leftist who dunks on the most people was the whole point. Noone said anything about building community, or coalitions, or anything productive in affecting change! /s
