Give people their freedom and they will fight tooth and nail to prevent themselves losing it again
“freedom” is the most meaningless word in politics. People use it to mean both “freedom from” oppression and “freedom to” oppress. Socialists, Communists, and anarchists want freedom from oppression but don’t always agree on how to get there. The bourgeoisie want the freedom to oppress the proletariat.
However put just yet another red boss on top
this is such a tired trope. you’re worried about the supposed “red boss” while is still in power. “We can’t do revolution because meet the new boss same as the old boss!” Give it a rest.
you will need that conscription and all the authoritarianism that will come after and will crush any advance towards socialism.
Authoritarianism is the second most meaningless word in politics. The ruling class always cries about authoritarianism as they are being overthrown by the very same people who they have been exercising authority over. A social class will dictate the conditions of production. Is it going to be the proletariat, or the bourgeoisie? Is it going to be the impoverished majority, or the opulent minority?
Also that lib was full of shit. Steam has never actually banned racists, no matter how many times they’re reported.
