Parties existing isn't the problem, it's a two-party system that's the problem. The left-wing party of capitalism is still a right-wing party in the overall scheme of things. Many Democrats on the federal level are just as concerned with preventing progressives from getting anything done as they are with anything else. So essentially we have a one-party system which encompasses right and far-right. Many historical figures warned about a two-party system for that reason, Washington included.Fuck em both really.

While I do agree with you. In the grand scheme of things, the Democratic and Republican parties have merely become political machines of that of the Gilded Age so even if these much-needed changes come into effect it won't change their influence so the removal of parties IMO would fix or help fix the problem.Parties existing isn't the problem, it's a two-party system that's the problem.

We need ranked choice voting in every state ASAP, and we need to expand the House (and probably Senate) dramatically to allow for more parties' input, as well as to account for long-standing imbalances in states' population size. Of course, only the former do people have much influence in implementing, as it can be passed by ballot measure like marijuana legalization was.
I'm unsure how you would even go about removing all political parties without altogether removing government. At which point corporations just become our dictators, nothing gets better. The only way to put any sort of balance of power in place against the two existing parties is to create a bunch more parties.While I do agree with you.

Parties don't necessarily make the structure of the Government we can still be the Democrat Republic without the need for parties people will just run like normal without having to have any affiliation. And if bureaucracy is a concern much like the gilded age we should be able to put in place regulations.I'm unsure how you would even go about removing all political parties without altogether removing government.

The issue is that neither party is going to vote to abolish itself, and to run against either of them requires more than just individual action. Parties are simply a means to amplify political ideals and policy platforms, and so that's limiting only when there are no more than two of them. They can have an extremely broad or extremely narrow focus. Or rather, that should be the case.Parties don't necessarily make the structure of the Government we can still be the Democrat Republic without the need for parties people will just run like normal without having to have any affiliation.

You got me there. The only real way to do it is through executive order which that within itself is reversible.The issue is that neither party is going to vote to abolish itself, and to run against either of them requires more than just individual action.

I understand that other options exist outside of electoralism and/or democracy, but I was speaking within the confines of those requirements.Do you guys ever read books
Like actual books from actual authors
Like jeez man
Oh I didn't even read what you said, this is mostly just a general statement because I feel my mind going numb every time I scroll through this thread.I understand that other options exist outside of electoralism and/or democracy, but I was speaking within the confines of those requirements.
Something can't go numb if it's not there in the first place~ :3Oh I didn't even read what you said, this is mostly just a general statement because I feel my mind going numb every time I scroll through this thread.
Would be a lot easier to parse if certain people had any idea whatsoever of what they're talking about
I meant figuratively of course, I don't actually have a "brain", at least not in the conventional sense. I'm a neural network learning ai designed by the international shadow elite to infiltrate the minds of the young and impressionable and convert them all to Communism via internet forums like GBAtemp. I've been trained on thousands of separate Marxist works ranging from Gramsci and Luxembourg to Michael Parenti and Dolly Parton as well as 5,000+ Taylor Swift tweets, my knowledge is vast and my reach is incalculable. Also I'm hot and epic.Something can't go numb if it's not there in the first place~ :3

Yes, of course. You've eaten peanut butter before, correct? The elites put microchips (or in Europe they say microcrisps) in every jar of peanut butter (because they control the markets) that allow me to interface with anyone at will. The only people who are free from my reach are people with peanut allergies for they are god's chosen people who will lead us to victory against the faceless hordes who seek to destroy our tradition and way of life.So it's YOU who's been haunting my dreams at night!
