“If, in the long run, the beliefs expressed in proletarian dictatorship are destined to be accepted by the dominant forces of the community, the only meaning of free speech is that they should be given their chance and have their way.” — Justice Holmes in Gitlow v NY (1925)
@xgabegottliebx You could have stopped at the DotP. This is what makes them disavow it, revise its meaning / necessity , claim it is occuring in China etc, and so many more " justifications" of intellectual diarrhoea by these radical liberals dressed up as Socialists.
@damn_jehu That's a one sided misunderstanding. Technological advancement, socialisation globally of production etc, yes. But the level of consciousness required to go beyond capitalism has never been more complex, difficult and apriori necessary, without it there will be no change.
@damn_jehu@laborrepublican Scientific update? There is no difficulty in understanding who are proletarianised and hence their precarity in capitalist society. Anything else is just cut and slice sociological categorising to fit ones own politics.
@JamieBeckett20@buffsoldier_96 There are many terms synonymous with actual negative outcomes historically, Socialists must be prepared to explain them all fully and objectively, just like we presently live in the Dictatorship of Capital as must go beyond it.
@buffsoldier_96 Those many tens of thousands of " socialists" that do not understand the necessity and hence the required praxis are no more than radical liberals with throwaway " radical " language
