   Tony S. voted for Democrats (tonystark@progressivecafe.social)'s status on Monday, 09-Dec-2024 09:34:54 JST Tony S. voted for Democrats

   How do people here not understand two things can be true simultaneously? Insurance companies are vile. Denying claims for no reason is vile. But also, “the revolution” didn’t start today. No real action. UHC will just replace him.

   Voting for people who will pass better legislation would help, but in a country that gets 19 to 24% turnout in primaries where there are actual people who’d do that to choose from can’t really be serious about change.

   Blame yourselves while you’re at it here.

     Yes, a dictatorship of the proletariat, which likely isn't what you think it means. It's not an autocratic dictatorship like in anti/socialist/communist propaganda. It's the complete rule the the proletarian class, i.e., the majority of society, the 99%, a class dictatorship, as opposed to the current class dictatorship of the bourgeois class, the dictatorship of the minority, the top 1%, which is far closer to an autocratic dictatorship.

     It's nothing like how that book portrays the proletarian dictatorship.

     @Radical_EgoCom @colo_lee "complete rule by the proletariat", as described in the posting. I refer to the plot of "Animal Farm" wherein the animals (proletariat) overthrow their human masters (rulers) and govern themselves.
