I understand why you see things that way because you're a liberal and not a Marxist. Reform makes sense if you come at these problems from the perspective of liberalism. The problem is that the it really isn't an issue of systems feeding into each other - it is the system- liberal democracy and who controls and why it exists in the first place that's the issue.

You bring up good questions about why liberal democracy looks different in Europe than the US. There are a lot of reasons for that, but what matters is that liberal democracy performs exactly the same function in Europe as it does in the US. It doesn't matter if theres one party or twelve, ranked choice or first past the post. I'm not argueing that one or the other isn't better, i just don't think it matters whether the system of bourgeois rule is slightly better or not.

That's what pissed me off so much. Even the basic gameplay mechanics have a "try and try again until you learn and adapt and persevere" theme to them and I like that.

Exactly! And it's so well designed that it feels fun to try again and again. The early parts of the game are also designed to teach you how to play by doing - without tutorials - in a way thats intuitive and fun.

However go through this and instead of appreciating the quality design that taught them how to overcome the challeges theyre presented with think - I am become gud, true gamer of games

When i finally got around to playing Dark Souls i was so pissed that it has the toxicity around that it does. Sure it's challenging, but in way thats well designed so its actually fun. I think way more people would play and enjoy if it didn't have that bullshit around it. Like you should feel good for overcoming a challenge in a game, but its still not anything to brag about lol. It was designed for you to beat and feel good, anyone can do that

Its not creating! Women simply consume the man's sperm and it becomes a child!

Detroying the environment is creative! Caring for children is Consumption!

They always naturalize their desired heirarchy. And their arguements always hinge on their agreivement that that hierarchy is disrupted, when unfortunately we are still firced to live under it

Okay, i can see the logic there. I also agree that its not about individual leaders having personal faults so much as the current political paradigm. I also agree that there would be a voter base for a progressive party. There's cerainly popular support for every proposed progressive policy in the US. Just M4A we know was widely popular across the country. Theres also been demonstrated that there's a grassroots donor base for a progressive party as we saw in Bernie's campaigns.

The real question that i think you should try to answer is given that there's broad support for these policies, and there's both a voter and donor base - Why does it not exist?

Liberals look at this question and blame the people. They blames voters. They blame the voting system and the two party stranglehold. Then they advocate for ranked choice and third parties.

Marxists consider the material basis of the system first and surmise that it doesn't exist because it wouldn't serve the interest ruling class. That liberal democracy is not democracy for the majority of people- the working class - but a democracy for the ruling class and both parties exist to serve their interests. This is why we can't get M4A - the most broadly supported policy proposal in the country. It doesn't matter that most people want it because it does not serve the interests of the ruling class.

the other party should be Progressives

I'm curious who you consider to be a progressive in US politics.

And i do mean curious genuinely. I'm a communist so I don't have a very high opinion of what counts as "progressive" in the US. I do think there wouod be a voter base for what could be called a Progressive Party in the US but i don't see any leadership. Most espousing "progressive" positions would turn their backs on them the minute they could actually come true, or whenever they have to put their money where thier mouth is. Kamala Harris and the entire progressives caucus cime to mind.

I'd like to hear your opinion on possible leadership though. And i won't attack it as we both know I'll disagree before hand lol - I'm just genuinely curious how a non-communist views it

That's the best thing to throw in the faces of anti-BDS libs. Most of the time they will say "That's different." They are always unable to effectively answer the obvious follow-up of "why?"

Even anime shield maidens are too woke for chuds now

Hillary has a new book? US elections are just a massive cash grab
