    Socialist revolution has already happened in many areas.

    Which all go back to the white army losing. Some say it was intentionally. Can that be recreated?

    Socialism locks in the current situation.

    The early industrial society doesn’t exist anymore. Capitalists have adapted and turned workers into consumers. The old paths are gone.

    “Socialism has ro for improvement

    Consumers don’t want to endure hardship or analysis. They can’t stand seeing the problem, how can they be receptive to a solution?

    The material situation is the same but there is now a mental problem that hasn’t been solved.

    To fish for downvotes, let me add that the bro lifestyle is an attempt by the right to solve the mental issues while ignoring the material ones.

      The White Army was specific to Russia, not all Socialist states like China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. Don’t really know what you’re getting at, here.

      Workers were always consumers. That’s part of the problem with Capitalism, higher wages give more room for increased commodity circulation, but Capitalists don’t want to pay their own workers higher wages. Further, industry is still the backbone of production worldwide, the Imperialist states in the West just export the hardest jobs to the Global South so they can have cheap goods without the harsh labor.

      As Capitalism decays, proletarianization increases even in the Imperialist countries, and thus reception to Socialism increases.

      There is no “mental problem that cannot be solved,” this is quite literally inventing a problem that exists purely in your head. Idealism to a T.

      Broism is a reaction to proletarianization, combined with patriarchial culture. It ignores analysis and goes for vibes-based solutions, which is why all bro-culture is incoherent and contradictory.
