    Democracy is bad when I don’t get what I want. Interesting take.

        Did you just unironically quite Marx to bolster your point lol.

          Even non-marxists agree that much of Marx’s analysis of capitalism is true

            Much of the self evident and obvious “analysis” maybe. I am sure there is a lot of basic true statements in Mein Kampf. It’s the rest that’s the problem.

            The person is quoting Marx to argue that we shouldn’t have democracy. That isnt the “analysis” non-marxists will agree with. Well, neo-nazis might, but I doubt that’s who you meant.

            The quote itself makes little sense and doesn’t provide any insight. It’s just a statement without any reasoning behind it. It only provides “value” to those who see Marx as an authoritative philosophical figure, which is pretty much just commies.

              But it’s not criticising democracy (as in government representative of the people), it’s criticising ‘democracy’ (the type that exists in most of the world), which generally limits true change that would harm the ruling classes

      Democracy is the least worst political system devised so far, and that isn’t really high praise for it. Certain political ideologies are a literal existential threat not just to certain groups, but literally everyone on earth. It is reasonable to marginalize them to oblivion. Germany bans Nazis for this reason, and the modern Republican Party is goose-stepping to the same song. They are an existential threat, and do not deserve representation at any level.

        I get why you think like this, but it’s just impossible. You can’t just ban everything bad, especially something around half the population support(ed). You think those people will just go bend over and shut up? They already believe the other side is evil and hates them
