If these ideas are the only workable ideas, why have they failed for the last century?
We need new ideas that are built on the understanding of our current world. Even places where "leftists" got to power they just turned into capitalist dictatorships or cruel experiments in how far propaganda can be pushed and how much populations can endure suffering and helplessness.
You're believing in silliness if you think violent revolution in 2024 will end up in anything but massive death and fascism. We don't have the numbers to win, all we'd end up doing is scaring voters into putting people into power that will put you in prison and become dictators.
They haven't failed, I even suggested reading modern theory. Reform has never worked, and never gotten off the ground.
I didn't suggest violent revolution, that's why I'm suggesting you read modern Anarchist theory, like Anarcho-Syndicalist theory.
It's like you read only keywords and answered off of vibes.
I guess we have a different definition of failure, at least when it comes to "socialist" states like China, Russia, and N. Korea.
Anarcho-syndicalism has some good things going for it, it could be part of a solution. I don't know why everyone assumes I am naive to all these ideas, I just don't fit in the little leftist boxes people made for us last century that the right already has formulas to defeat.
