@conmereth Well, that's why elections shouldn't be considered (and really aren't) the final expression of democratic will. Protest, riot, civil disobedience, unrest, whatever you want to call it, that's the truest expression of political will, and I am content to embrace that chaos rather than seeking to crackdown on it or suppress it by state violence.
This is also why I'm not much of a fan of representative democracy, but I prefer direct democracy and much smaller governments, so that, say, the will of people in Georgia doesn't need to affect the outcome of elections in Oregon. Syndicalism is a preferable arrangement to centralized authoritarianism

@pubcle I'd love to see your sources for such an outlandish (literally, hah) claim. Colonial imperialism is nakedly about robbing a land and its people for the benefit of another land and its people, whereas socialism's goal is to domestically abolish the economic systems whereby such exploitation is possible. A socialist government works against class divisions and empowers the working class to own and draw direct benefit from the means of production which they already operate for the direct benefit of a ruling class. But as long as a foreign empire is murdering your people into submission and extorting your economy in order to enrich their own economy, socialism and freedom are impossible, aren't they?
It is nonsense to attempt to justify the blatant exploitation of humanity over its incremental solution. Colonialism has caused no shortage of famine, suffering, and death over more than half a millennium. Meanwhile, these nebulous "supply chain issues" you refer to as somehow being endemic to socialism must either be based upon agrarian societies being rapidly forced into industrial societies in the early 20th century in Eastern Europe―might as well compare 2022 to 1776 if that's how you're going to define modern geopolitics: "Valley Forge was a disaster, therefore the American experiment is a failure!" What causes supply chain issues for modern nations like Cuba is being under embargo from half the bourgeois world for more than half a century, yet even still they manage to have free universal education and healthcare, virtually zero homelessness, 100% literacy, and some of the best doctors on the face of the planet.
Trying to tell downtrodden, impoverished people that such a state is preferable to their own liberation and their own mastery of their lives and nations is, frankly, a gross bourgeois joke: a mere and utter lie
