It does.
You still thinking of liberalism? Even they pretend to want capitalism to raise everyone up.
We like to say “working class” but that’s just a Marxian era thought, that the middle class had their revolution next will be the proletariat revolution. But in general all the so-called lower classes is what socialism is trying to raise up, what with this talk of freedom and equality for all.

>demos
The demos are the common people

But why? What’s the motivation here? There aren’t any functioning democracies today you know?
Corporate capture makes them all oligarchies. Mere voting isn’t democracy.
Why shit on something that isn’t even being practiced? Your motive is to lead people to authoritarian rule. You have daddy issues and want to lick cops boots, isn’t that right, OP?

That’s not democracy, in the traditional sense. Direct democracy, they say now.

Bookchin was a Marxist, an anarchist and his own middle ground thing towards the end of his life, so maybe there’s a misconception because of that. I’m reading The Next Revolution and nowhere do I see evidence of mindless rationalism, goofy ethics, or signs of elitism. I’ve just read hos distinguishing between actual politics and statecraft, something a lot of anarchists need to be taught about.

This quote, I am told, is meant to disrespect democracy not promote it.

Oh how nice. They want to do socialism but with authoritarianism and racist purges. Get in the dirt.

>>14100407
There’s your problem of course. You don’t read about socialism and I do.

>>14101892
>Yet it's the opposite.
We have no actual democracy under capitalism, bub

Nah, CEOs don’t do anything. Challenge all unjustifiable hierarchies. If a task or department needs a supervisor, some places can rotate the position, others may stick with one, but all decisions, democratic.

I believe so. But not an unreasonable one.
