    Finish your argument before you start a new one sweetie.

    This is condescending and intended to distract from the main point by being inflammatory You keep dodging because you don’t have an answer.

    You have to either accept that your point was wrong and integrate that acceptance into your line of argument or argue for your point being correct - This is done by either supplying sufficient empirical data that helps create some synthesis with the rest of the data or you go through the given data and explain why it is faulty or insufficient as a basis for a rebuttal.

    As the rest of the comment you are responding to explains, you have still yet to do this.

    Nah. It can’t be popular enough to work here. If it could, you would have said how. You’re just diverting from that fact because you don’t actually have an answer.

    Lmk when you want to actually make progress on anything regarding this topic and not just nitpick tediously. The main point is that there’s no way to get those political systems to fly here because people don’t want them currently.

    That does not mean it is popular here

    Factually untrue, as the data shows.

    Then why don’t we have this as our current form of government? How to you propose to get everyone to buy in to this in the US? If you can’t reduce it to practice, this is just impractical Internet bullshit talk.

    I assert that that’s all this will ever be. We have zero chance of this being implemented here.

    We do however have a chance of getting back to regulated capitalism. All we need is a new TR.

    I know several former East Germans. None of them was happy. They all agree that things are better now. You don’t have a good example.

    To the extent that the bourgeoisie are able to vote, buy political ads, hire private police, use private schools which reinforce their preferences, etc this will never fly. Again you need to find a third way that is popular. My solution is regulation, but I would happily jump on a bandwagon that has people on it. GDR is not that bandwagon.
