   Did you even read the comment of mine that you screen shot? It's like you made up an argument in your head to argue against instead of the one I sent you. I literally say in the screen shot comment of mine that you made, "A new system (socialism) can, and must, come from the current system (capitalism)," and yet you're arguing as if I said the opposite. Argue against what I actually claim to support next time.

     This is an argument that embraces ideology, while avoiding actual history, which is a dance between evolution & revolution.

     US democracy, i.e., leaned heavily on the Magna Carta, parliament, etc. The American Revolution leaned on colonials not having the same rights they had in Britain.

     New systems tend to develop in fertile soil, such as the freedom of workers to organize, form unions, etc. If some rights & freedoms aren't widely accepted first, they're difficult to add after the fact. (USSR)
