What's the point in advocating for such a wildly impossible system.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s only impossible because people like you refuse to see it’s possibility. If enough people see it’s possibility. It becomes not only possible, but inevitable.

You would have to overcome the combined political and military might of every country in the world to enact that system. How about you work on getting basic healthcare to people first. That actually might happen in your lifetime.

Because every effort devoted to unobtainable utopias is effort detracted from being politically effective in the current system and erodes the legitimacy of the left wing. And besides, most communists are hoping for revolution, and not actually helping people.

Voting and helping people is the revolution.

That's not revolutionary at all though is it. That's just what normal people do. My local conservative Christians are revolutionary by that definition.
