    If your definition of socialism is “ownership by the workers, but they can’t form any kind of representative body to administrate production (ie. a state)”, then you’ve just defined socialism out of existence. Unless the expecting the entire population to come together and form a consensus on every decision, (“what color should we make the wall paper? Oh well time to get all eight billion humans on a group call”).

        You can drop the ableism, and the proletariat ran the government in the USSR. The democratic structure looked like this:

            It’s factually true, but you don’t like it, so time to deploy the thought terminating cliche

            You can also read historical texts like Soviet Democracy by Pat Sloan, as well. There’s also tons of information from the Soviet Archives, we know quite well that this is accurate information. Labelling everything that goes against your understanding as “propaganda” without doing the legwork to prove it is shallow.

        K. Very compelling point. “If you disagree with me you are mentally unwell.”

        But you’ve already condemned any representative representative body administrating things, so I’m not sure what your point is anyway.

          Disagreements on opinions and beliefs are sane, normal and even cool. I love a good debate! Disagreements on facts aren’t.

          But you’ve already condemned any representative representative body administrating things

          No, I never did that.

            Well the fact is that you’re wrong. So if you try to say you’re right, it means you’re insane.

            No, I never did that

            Yes, you did. That’s a fact, by the way, so you claiming otherwise is just you being unwell.
