    Socialism is not immune to monarchist or capitalist takeover, and the Democrats are not far right in this backwards ass country. They’re the big tent of liberalism, which is right wing, but not as right wing as I wish it was. It’s a distortion to believe that this country will democratically choose socialism. They’re too invested in selfishness for egalitarianism.

      That’s where the permanent revolution would help. The workers must not allow splitting the revolution into stages of concessions and compromises but fight until total victory and the dissolution of the state.

      Also this is the reason why communists are not pacifists — the working class has the right and a duty to defend itself and it’s gains. That’s what Marx meant when he wrote that under no pretense must workers be disarmed.

        Not a fan of “permanent revolution,” as it has a habit of becoming the new establishment, but you’re correct about not conceding or disarming. That’s the bed that the right wingers kindly made for us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
