Censorship in r/socialism kills any discussion of a topic that the far right would LOVE r/socialism users to believe: that not voting for Democrats will somehow help socialists, lol

Not voting Democrat will help socialists.

I'm not sure how voting Dem would help them at all.

They are to the right of the Tory party in the UK policy wise even if they talk woke.

    I believe Marx was more or less right on the money with his critiques of capitalism. To me thats his academic contribution, and its an important one.

    As far as Marx and Engels vision for political representation, I am not sold. Are you familiar with Kropotkin at all? He and Marx were the intellectual leaders of two factions of communist thought with quite different visions (Kropotkin's school of thought has now been termed 'anarcho-communism'). I think his prescriptive ideas are more sound and interesting than Marx's, who depends too much on a centralized state.

    I don't think I'm totally convinced by any of the solutions i've seen from anyone concerning capitalism/communism/socialism but he had some interesting ideas that I think are under appreciated and ignored by modern academia
