p.s. actually I would argue that it is a prerequisite for actual, real democracy to exist. Speaking of genius... who's that? Why, if it isn't Albert Einstein!
Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
Huh, wow, sounds to me like capitalism is an inherently authoritarian, anti-democratic system, by virtue of ownership of capital affording the capitalist class an inordinate amount of economic and political influence (as the major funders of political parties)
but idk I guess we should just go and vote in sham election propping up liberal bourgeois democracy despite the numerous indicators of its grievous failures everywhere, because that is Genius (tm)

"I will fix the system by not participating in it."
And what are you doing? Genuinely, you have not offered a single thing in this thread. What is your alternative plan? If you have nothing to offer then sit down.
That you continue to completely misunderstand what all of these people are telling you. Nobody is going to whine when one of the two parties wins, we all fucking know that you child. We don't think it makes a material difference, which is why we're either not voting to endorse a sham fascist democracy, or if a third party like PSL is on the ballot we're voting for them. You keep repeating the same extremely stupid things based on a complete misunderstanding of our worldview, and the funniest part is you keep trying to do the condescending liberal thing.
This, by the way, is why nobody is really putting any effort into trying to convince you of anything. You haven't even understood the basis of what anybody keeps telling you and you're not making any effort to try to understand it.

So is that the enlightened communist advice I've been waiting for or...?
Anyways you're right, I haven't offered anything yet, so here's the advice:
Vote for who you want to, and don't whine when one of the two major parties wins.
Absolute huge brain, thanks democracy understander
Is this an LLM output? I have a hard time believing anybody could be this stupid.
Which part of it is stupid? That you can vote for who you want to, or that a Democrat or Republican is being elected?

Remember when you pretended nobody responding within a few hours meant you won? Eat shit, you mental child.
Yeah sorry I logged off for a day and I lost.
Have a good one.
