    Vibes have nothing to do with the stuff that is being released week by week and how people are fed up. Not a single place in the world has solved this issue pre-emptively. Same power & control structures with different localized forms and labels have just lost their ground.

          I have research and analysis underpinning my belief all you have demonstrated is vague vibes of bourgeois democracy and socialist democracy are actually the same. All power is bad. It’s childish.

            The thing is you rely on belief. You don’t have to know yet, that’s fine. But pining for the old to be somehow compatible is gone

              Everyone has beliefs? You do too. The future isn’t set in stone hence why I like you have beliefs about how it will go. The difference is mine are underpinned by analysis of the material world, political economy and research into these topics where as again you have vibes leading you to believe things I would call erroneous. Your beliefs are much closer to a religious faith than anything backed by reality.

                So great. We have the same base but you want to call it vibes for me, and something else for yourself. That sounds religious

                    If we don’t, there forms a logical contradiction of your comment of “analysis of the material world, political economy and research into these topics”.
