Here's how to change the world

18. How do you propose to do those things?

To state you want this or that, without direct explanations to demonstrate how this is achieved means nothing. Means doing nothing. Abolish capitalism - so, you support a revolution that captures the wealth of the 1% and creates worker-directed industry.

You can't simply say you have an idea without saying how you would accomplish it.

I'm not a communist, so I'm not going to support your ideas, but if you don't offer ways to achieve your objective, you're not offering anything.

Since the majority of Americans would also not identify as communist, however, you'd have a way to go do create a base of support, even.

People can get behind something like democratic socialism, however, since we've seen models where this works, in Canada and western Europe. I support a mixed model because I think the tensions between groups works for checks and balances on power. We don't have labor unions, etc. or a system to have representation by smaller parties in the U.S., however, and this inhibits implementation of laws that create a better society for more people.

However, we have no models for successful communism. We have quite a bit of negative information about communism in practice, apart from voluntary groups that come together for that purpose. iow, it seems to me, if you want to achieve what you want, you have to do exactly what I said, which is to model behavior as a way to interest others in your pov.

Knowing your ideology - I think you're the one that's incredibly idealistic and without any doable action to make your idealistic view happen.
