Yeah, if you’re still supporting centrism as an answer to increasing fascism, you’re still not understanding what’s going on and won’t see a clear solution. And your friends obviously haven’t been paying attention to the news in Canada for the past 10 years.
If you really want to understand it, just read Marx.
I think there was nuance in my comment you missed, and that your views are unsophisticated and naive. I'm willing to take any path that will lead away from neoliberalism if it actually has a hope of working in Canada. We won't even vote NDP and you're suggesting:
I think you're missing the fact that we'll be in prison or dead between step 2 and 3. Look what's happening in the US, or in Germany with the original Nazis. Did that lead to successful communism in Germany? Or did fascism completely destroy the country and completely exterminate the progressive elements within it. Then the USSR took over half the country after it was ravaged by a brutal war to implement Actually Existing Socialism which is, in effect exchanging our capitalist ruler class who extracts our "surplus value" and alienates us from our labour and our consumption with a political ruler class who extracts our "surplus value" and alienates us from our labour and consumption.
No one has ever successfully discovered and implemented a path to Stateless Democratic Communism yet, and I doubt you have a path there that has a hope of winning or that is novel in any way.
What is the practical action you think we should take after the Liberals lose their power thanks to being undermined by the progressive left?
