- WalterSear 8y agoSo we shouldn't try? Political games are all there is.
- rrcaptain 8y ago>Political games are all there is. That's not true. A better world is possible, but not if we restrict ourselves to shortminded solutions like taxes and electoral politics. This is a systemic flaw, you can't work inside of the system to try to solve it.
- WalterSear 8y agoSo what's the alternative? Innumerate libertarian pipe dreams? Bolshevik revolution?
- rrcaptain 8y agoThere's literally centuries of thought on leftist alternatives. I can't sufficiently explain them in a HN comment. But The Conquest of Bread is a good place to start.
- WalterSear 8y agoInnumerate Libertarian Bolshevik revolution pipe dreams. Well played.
