The transition towards this can be economically and socially stable, as well. A combination of revolutionary action and internal reform which makes it difficult for hostile private, foreign, and domestic actors to infiltrate, corrupt, and destabilize the transition.

Where workers such as sanitation workers and farm workers, the foundation of society, are paid better than politicians and economists. Where there is no economic incentive to rise to positions of social prestige, such that social and economic power remain inversely correlated.

The only solution is to depose and divest the economic elites who determine legislation using their economic and political power.

You can't regulate a class of people who are above the law. Especially when they are the ones who write the laws.

All attempts to regulate the economic elites have only served as speedbumps on the road to plutocracy. They are the ones who write the laws. It makes little difference to them if it's the republicans or the democrats in office.

Economic power is equivalent to political power.

We can't continue to pretend there's any meaningful difference between economic power and political power. All attempts to regulate the ultra rich and the corporations have only served as speedbumps on the road to economic elite domination. Democracy needs a democratic economy and a wealth cap ratio

We don't need to convince the chuds and libs, we need to make them realize they already understand the problem; they've just been lied to and directed towards the wrong enemy. They must stop hating the powerless and start directing that hatred towards those in power.

Talk about how the democrats and the republicans are both just servants to our economic overlords. That our government is just a convenient way for the ultra rich to manage their wealth and assets, that they consider us as disposable livestock.

Agree on as much as possible, and then avoid zing words or common trigger phrases. Ask them what they would feel if x or y were true or false, before you present any evidence or make any arguments. Emphasize ourcommon enemy, the economic elites; talk about how they lie.

In all of our minds, there are walls between the in-groups we identify with and their respective out-groups. If you start to push on that out-group wall in the mind of yourself or the people you're trying to convert, then it becomes impossible to change their minds. We must subvert our tribalism.

that fall outside of what we consider to be inclusive to our sub-cultural identities.

And this is what it boils down to. Humans are neither good nor evil, neither inherently stupid nor smart. We are tribalistic. We tend to adapt ourselves to be 'good members of the tribe'.

Brainwashing and propaganda are OP. The fact that they work so well is testament alone to the validity of each individual's failure to overcome it. Even within leftist circles, we see in-group/out-group virtue signaling which causes us to immediately ignore or reject attitudes or ideas that fall

Trump made the great mistake of saying he was going to "Get big money out of politics." And then he stood up there at his inauguration with the richest people in the history of the world standing behind him. Don't hate or lose faith in the chuds/libs just because they fail to register the obvious.

I've converted several hundred chuds and libs by starting with that. We need to remember that humans are tribalistic. Our worldviews tend to be a complex series of cultural norms and expectations. But there are underlying truths that everyone feels.

It's pretty easy, actually. Just start by finding things you can both agree on, and get them to keep agreeing with you on common sense desires. Don't talk about facts, just ask things like, "Do you hate it when rich people control the government?"

Yeah most police departments are just gangs of power-tripping thugs with legal immunity. The vast majority of cops mistakenly believe they're the special one who's immune to the corruptive effects of having power and authority while being basically immune to the consequences of your own actions.
