Socialism, by definition, can't be forced on people. Socialism is the will of the people. If you try to force "sOcIaLiSm" onto people, it isn't socialism, but some weird distortion of socialism or some other system disguised as socialism. If the revolutionaries ask the people if they want socialism and they answer "no," then the time for socialism hasn't yet come.

It's ironic that Leninism contains the exact same impatience that Lenin criticized others of having. He criticized anarchists of wanting to abolish the state too early and various left communist of wanting to establish socialism too early, but he himself didn't have the patience of waiting for a developed capitalist country before having a proletarian revolution according to Marxism.

Kerala, a state in India led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF), is on track to become the first state in India to eradicate extreme poverty by November 2025. This achievement is the result of decades of socialist-inspired policies prioritizing equitable development, grassroots democracy, and human dignity.

The irony of MAGA:

Elect Trump for “freedom” -> get central government control of the economy.

In other words, if Trump ”owns the shop”, sets the prices and controls what gets manufactured (via tariffs), isn’t this pretty much along the lines of what they teach US kids ”communism” means? 🤔

I know Maga loves Russia more than anything, but are they really sure they want to be repeating their mistakes like this?
