>essential for functioning
That's obviously not true, you can argue that it makes society better/fairer but not that it falls apart without it.

>>18327941
The entire OP is based on personal presumptions about what "functioning society" means here.

>>18327941
As in a society that doesn’t eventually devolve into class antagonism

it's practiced in Europe from what i understand. but yes they are being americanized now.
>>18327949
you're right. OP isn't aware that americans literally cannot see a society that doesn't have a population stuck in austere poverty that they can peck down at and risk getting killed by. that's why america is a third world society.

Its been europe for the past 30+ years. The fatal flaw is its tether less empathy. This shit works in a smaller, homogenous, highly consciousness white country like Norway, but it all falls apart when the women decide to import infinity migrants who suck up the gibs and have no sense of duty or sense of shame.

In other words it works amongst people have some awareness of class structure, and fail with people who resist or lack such awareness.

This is why you need class consciousness. Reform won’t solve problems magically, people must change as well.

The problem is that this is 100% true but only if you add „closed borders“, „a high trust society“ and „high military spending „

>allow the bourgeoisie to keep existing
>they buy out your politicians and even your political parties and use their wealth to dismantle social democracy
I mean it'd be nice if it worked, but hasn't history shown it doesn't? If you don't expropriate you'll either go the way of Nu-Labour or dwindle into irrelevance as the rich leverage their wealth to pump your opponents and destroy you

Communism = forced altruism = Fascism

altruism =/= forced altruism

What the image doesn't mention is that the first guy is using taxes to implement the third guy's political programme by setting up a parallel legal and cultural ecosystem that rewards progressivists with titles, accreditations, sinecures and positions of power.

It's basic Fabianism/Gramsciism
