You know there is a difference between wise people being listened to because of experience or just because it's been smart and suggesting rules everyone then agrees on and a feudal lord or class thereof that are exploiting a poorer majority with threats of violence and living a lavish lifestyle. There are still existing tribes in Asia or Amazonas that don't even have words for mine and yours because the concept of owning is so foreign to them. Everything is shared. To say that they are being ruled comparably to medieval and modern systems just doesn't make sense.
And what does that have to do with this case?
I like a quote from the German left party. Said: "Well a true democratic communism hasn't really had the chance to prove itself yet" - which got me to think. Maybe the democratic majority just doesn't want communism. Now why is that? I think because almost all the opinions and information they are being barraged with are coming from capitalist owned news or because most people need to have this illusion that their work or whatever they are doing will eventually make them be better off than their neighbors.
Wow. You really think there's going to be another election?
Bin bei Leuten, die hauptsächlich gegen etwas sprechen immer neugierig, wofür sie denn alternativ wären.
Ich hatte den Mietendeckel z.B nicht als primäre Maßnahme zur Schaffung neuer Wohnungen verstanden sondern gegen die kranke Spekulation auf dem Immobilienmarkt, die zu Leerstand und exponentiell steigenden Immobilienpreisen führt (unter anderem - das Thema ist natürlich etwas komplexer als das)
Wo wurden Mietendeckel in der Praxis denn als kontraproduktiv bewiesen ?
Welche anderen sozialen Forderungen siehst du als billigen Populismus?
Preisaufsicht und Entfall der Mehrwertsteuer auf Grundnahrungsmittel klingen nicht nur umsetzbar sondern auch vernünftig (Nach und während der Coronakreise macht der LEH Rekordgewinne, die Spritpreisbremse stecken sich die Ölkonzerne in die Tasche).
Subventionierung der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel klingt mal nach sinnvollem Klimaschutz, der den sozial schwächeren auch nutzt, statt zu belasten.
Ich sehe da viele gute Ideen neben natürlich auch utopischen Vorstellungen. Auch das lese ich aber in wofür wie allen Parteiprogrammen.
Was möchtest du mit deinem Post eigentlich erreichen?
Wie du schon sagst, sind die Linke sehr weit weg von einer Regierungsbeteiligung (In der sie in einem Koalitionsvertrag ja sowieso solche Positionen nicht durchbekommen würden). Ich halte es allerdings für wichtig die Linke gerade wegen ihrer sozialpolitischen Positionen und Argumente in der Innenpolitik in den Bundestag zu wählen. Deutlich lieber als z.B die FDP.
Wundert mich einfach, dass so plötzlich nachdem die Linke in den Umfragewerten etwas gestiegen ist, so stark vor der bösen Linken hier gewarnt wird.
push already came to shove, and nobody fought. I don't have much hope American Opposition to do anything.
Der Wahl-O-Mat wird von den Wahlprogrammen der Parteien gespeist (Also 80% bullshit), somit also höchstens gut für einen ersten Überblick oder für Parteien, die bisher noch nicht im Bundestag waren.
Spannend ist der neue Real-o-mat, der für die Parteien im Bundestag das tatsächliche Abstimmungsverhalten bewertet. Lohnt sich, dort mal reinzuschauen.
Oh, did his administration stop supplying weapons to Israel?

This is a good read. There is a pretty large socialist movement that seems to have the idea that to reach global socialism we need to defend every self proclaimed socialist state without asking any questions at all and hope they'll get better over time.
A friend of mine has a farm and adopts the occasional "free-range" chicken (which just means there is some outside part accessible from the cage). They are so heavily bred that they kept falling over because their breasts were too large, so they wouldn't move much. This is always what I think about when I read free range. Basically a chicken too fat to move that can look outside an open window.
Your first point is literally why I went vegetarian. I tried getting meat out of sources that I could ethically comply with but gave up after a while. If you live in a city it is practically impossible.
I say vegetarian, because I eat the occasional egg if I personally know the chickens and their living conditions.
China has the 2nd most billionaires in the world and they are tied to "state owned companies". And you try to tell me it's a socialist country. Billionaires should not exist in a socialist country. If the economic gains of labour land in the hands of a few billionaires, this makes them bourgeoisie. Even though they claim to be socialist. But you seem to be as blinded by their propaganda as you claim the western people to be of capitalist propaganda because you can't seem to grasp what's wrong with these so called socialist countries.
Funny how you just disregard the information without actually going into it at all.
Coming off as someone blindly following another form of oppression by a bourgeoise elite claiming to be proletarian.
I was hoping for some actual insights.
What are you trying to say with this graph? That distribution of wealth is better when it is distributed amongst less than 1% of the population of they call themselves proletarian? Or that it is somehow better if standard of living goes down for everyone just because the then nonexistent ressources are shared equally?
In a perfect world a whole cake is shared equally by all 8 people. But if you smash half the cake, give a quarter to one person and the remaining quarter to the remaining 7 it is not better than 2 ppl having half a cake and letting the other 6 have the other half. Maybe not the best example but I hope you get my point.
If not having equal but good standard of living, what is it we are strivong for?
I suggest this link as a good read. Because I think just strictly defending the existing socialist countries is actually hindering progress towards a both fair and high quality of life society.

Have you ever visited any of the AES Countries? They have a few rich and powerful families running everything and sucking up to daddy china. I have visited Laos and Vietnam and talked to the working people. They are suffering, barely making ends meed and are fed up with the people in power taking everything for themselves and living in luxury. And if they talk too much about it they get "visitors". These people in power over there are not working class. There is also absolutely no basic healthcare. If you get sick you die. I am sorry but for me a socialist country does not have an elite living on luxury and it doesn't have people dying of poverty and lack of healthcare.
