It's not cool that Americans are as dumb as crabs in this analogy. If every leftist just got behind the green party we might stand a chance. But everyone wants their own unique ideology represented.
Why can't we just vote for the biggest leftist party with the most ballot access? Ya know, the green party
I agree prison labor is just a roundabout way of getting away with slave labor and it shouldn't be done. That being said, China has less slaves than the US and treats them half as badly.
The US has destroyed every socialist country in history that didn't have a strong enough military to fight them off
Russia devolved into capitalism. Funding a military is incredibly expensive and necessary when a communist country wants to exist in a world with the United States. This creates a militant economy that must be centrally governed to coordinate this military might. True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.
