The Democracy of the founding fathers was Greek Democracy, predicated upon a slave society, and restricted to only the elite. This is the society we live in today, even with our reforms towards direct representation. The system is inherently biased towards the election of elites and against the representation of the masses. Hamilton called it “faction” when the working class got together and demanded better conditions, and mechanisms were built in (which still exist to this day) that serve to ensure the continued dominance of the elite over the masses. The suffering of the many is intentional. The opulence of the wealthy is also. This is the intended outcome.
I've read plenty of commie diatribes on Lemmy, you're all the same. Expect everything for free, outraged that you have to do something productive for society, think that you could all go live in a commune somewhere.
Heard it all before.
And how have you inferred all that, O wise one ? I must be a commie for not wanting people rich enough to buy a country, that tracks. Why is that always this with you people ? "You know you have to work in society, you can't expect to get things for free" tf kinda strawman are you doing ? Who's saying that ? People in your deranged little mind that's who.
