I don’t just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of “legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community” top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we’re Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they’ve slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

    I’m gonna keep it short:

    To enact democratic socialism or any form of socialism today, you cant simply vote for it, as your current government will fight against it. You cant work within a capitalist government to enact socialism, just look at how hard it is today to simply try to put welfare programs. I’m talking about the USA of course. If you want socialism you will be silenced, attacked, and manipulated by the media and if you are strong enough assassinated by the CIA. So you only way is violence.

    Lets look at other countries wanting socialism, you will be attacked by the USA military, so you need a strong army to defend yourself, same thing again, the media will try to say your country is authoritarian and the CIA will try to manufacture events off unrest in your country to justify itself. There are multiple events like this in the past century. So you require violence to defend yourself here.

    Things will get better with time, I hope, as more societies try different forms of socialism, but for that the fastest way is a violent socialist revolution, or waiting centuries for the USA and other capitalist countries to completely fall and allow socialist to exist.
