    So… you’re a fascist?

    Communism provides a solution to capitalism by being a more democratic system, both politically, and economically. Not by being more authoritarian.

      No I’m asking how what I said had anything to do with liberal ideology. Can you stay on topic?

      Most communist nations have not been very good when it comes to democracy. Not that they couldn’t be, but it obviously isn’t an inherent property.

          Again, that isn’t an answer to my question. And no I do not think liberal means Democrat, I’m not in the US.

              My question was how me saying people are the problem has anything to do with liberal ideology? My statement about authoritarianism was to point out that what I said before was definitely not liberal.

              What would be liberal would be to say it’s a good thing that people can fuck around and twist things to their benefit, as if that was the system working as intended. I’m not saying that. I’m saying systems aren’t working, and the problem is people.

              If you keep framing the problem as caused by the system, then you’ll be blind to the people problem in whatever system you implement to replace it.
