Ironic meme with 2 pictures... The one on the top having a picture of Trump, with the text "America will never become a socialist nation". The one on the bottom having artwork of Trump in a red tinted background, with the text "because we're going straight to communism" It is a ironic meme and is not indicating any actual pro-communist leaning of Trump

With righteous fury, JDPON Don seized the imperial helm and dashed the great ship upon the rocks, never to be rebuilt

    Everyone on Lemmy already knows that Republicans suck; you’re repeatedly preaching to the choir.

    But even if we magically raptured all Republicans, this would still be a capitalist shithole, so please start thinking bigger.

    I think that's about step 1... if the republicans were gone... more democrats would be challanged from the left. Either a real left wing party could be established. Or democrats would be able to consistantly be forced in the right direction. The biggest problem is the constant if we don't 100% unify quickly we risk the facists taking over and creating messes that will take 10 years of good policy to reverse even if we get a perfect candidate in, is the giant problem.

    There are two major problems:

    1. The Democrats are a bourgeois party, they cannot be reformed from within because their entire base is the capitalist class.

    2. The state in the US isn't a neutral state, because the state is a product of class struggle. The state in the US is a capitalist state, one with the specific characteristics of a capitalist superstructure. You cannot reform this into socialism, you have to break it and replace it.
