        Dialectical Materialism. Right now, they are. You either work towards communism or capitalism moves towards consolidation of capital. Those are your choices.

          Imma be real, chief, I don’t think DiaMat is going to work on Non-marxists, even if I agree.

        there’s capitalism and its variants (the current system), and there is anti-capitalism in various flavours. (socdem, ML, anarchism)

        you can choose your favorite flavour, but its either moving towards capitalism, or moving away from it.

              Traditionally the “Third Way/Position” is fascism. So, ultimately, kinda, but with race science.

                fascism isn’t a third way. It’s liberalism in crisis

                  I mean, it’s just literally what they call themselves. Sure, they lie or don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, but that’s kind of their whole deal.

                  Describe what you consider the “third way” that isn’t capitalists owning the means of production, workers owning the means, or the state owning the means.

        Yes. It’s just those are the two mentioned, and I’m slightly communist. So there’s some bias.

        We did that already. We could do it again.

          thats not a mix though, it was just a bandaid over capitalism, borrowed from socialistic ideas. the capital accumulating class was never extinguished, eventually leading to the same problems today all over again.

          hence why we advocate for a systemic change, if you can’t accumulate capital, you can’t buy back the system again like it is rn. this is pretty much the crux of the issue here.

      As usual the best answer lies somewhere between the two extremes

        we tried that before though, improving things temporarily, but it will never be permanent until we extinguish the owner class.

          The trick is not falling for the lie that social democracy is meeting socialism in the middle.

          Social Democracy is just liberalism with enlightened self interest. Is it better than other capitalists models?

          Sure. That doesn’t make it the end goal.
