Again, reading Leftist Theory would help you quite a lot. We are on Lefty Memes, after all.

Relying on “the will of the people” is idealism and ignores material reality.

If a country is lacking in that regard it’s not the fault of their economic system. It’s due to the values of the people in power. And in the case of a democracy, it’s partially due to the values of the voters as well.

This is idealism, and I don’t mean the concept of having ideals. I am referring to the branch of philosophy that believes thoughts shape matter, rather than matter shaping thoughts.

Becoming a cop is a life change, voting is standard, as is consuming bananas and using smartphones.

Deliberately choosing to become a cop is bad, because there are a wealth of alternatives. Not true for voting, bananas, smartphones, or cars.

A small subset of humans become cops, it isn’t a thing someone just chances into

What are you genuinely talking about?

Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos. Workers do not own it and cannot own it. ✌️

Systems can be bad, and the people who support and work within bad systems are bad, even if they act nice outside of that system.

Living is fun and I have people I love and care for deeply, that make me see the world through alternative angles that deepen my appreciation.
