Any time you have to force or coerce a system onto a population against popular sentiment, it's doomed to fail.

Which is why capitalist shitholes of the west are now visibly coming apart at the seams.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly. Capitalism was forced on the population, ergo it is doomed to fail.

that's why we need to abolish private property in the means of productions

I'm more in support of socialist revolution to attempt a smooth(er) transition, but eventually yes

There are zero historical examples of capitalists giving up their power without a fight. The history of the 20th century and the cold war is one of repressive counter-revolutions killing hundreds of millions of people in the global south who tried to build socialism.

I don't know, I think they're just confused. Socialist revolution is the transition to the state of society in which private property has been abolished.
