    Any time you have to force or coerce a system onto a population against popular sentiment, it’s doomed to fail.

      Socialism has overall largely come into existence in places where it’s popular among the people, as it’s a proletarian-driven system. The opposite is true of capitalism.

      Which is why capitalist shitholes of the west are now visibly coming apart at the seams.

        Exactly. Capitalism was forced on the population, ergo it is doomed to fail.

      That’s an interesting but unrelated idea given that all currently existing socialist countries only became socialist because of revolutions that had popular support from all sectors of society except the owners of capital.

      that’s why we need to abolish private property in the means of productions

        I’m more in support of socialist revolution to attempt a smooth(er) transition, but eventually yes

          There are zero historical examples of capitalists giving up their power without a fight. The history of the 20th century and the cold war is one of repressive counter-revolutions killing hundreds of millions of people in the global south who tried to build socialism.

            I don’t know, I think they’re just confused. Socialist revolution is the transition to the state of society in which private property has been abolished.
