This is untrue, literally domino theory exists as a justification to kill liberation movements like this

You're not a communist if you oppose literally every single successful revolution on the grounds of somehow still believing western propaganda.

Yeah, before the recent referendum they were better on all rights outside of marriage(because legally recognized marriages aren't as important) and now they've fixed that last one.

You have a serious poverty of imagination. Think about how you can do things if you had an organization of people in your same class position.

These both are relying on thinking you're the person in charge of the economy in a system were you aren't.

I didn't say I prefer them, I said that historically over and over again they get the goods. The problems you're asking about are questions all successful revolutions have succeeded at grappling with.

I don’t believe in revolutions

Like, that they historically exist and have resulted in massive gains for the working class, or what?

Do you think not believing voting can affect change is the same as thinking the masses aren't capable of affecting change?

How can you dream of revolutions without believing in voters?

You're the one who doesn't believe in the masses.

You are appealing to authority.

Yes, and it is an appropriate appeal. It is the equivalent of pointing at physicists while arguing with a flat earthen.

I don’t question that communism and Socialism can create better housing. My point is that as long as you are in capitalism, you have to play by capitalist rules.

Okay, so stop doing capitalism. You just said that socialism produces better outcomes.

Blaming landlords is counter-productive because renters don’t feel the need to build the power to influence the next election.

That won't do anything. Build tenants unions and then find where your landlord lives and have a pleasant conversation with them about collective bargaining and what collective bargaining is the historical alternative to, at the minimum.
