    Is your socialist country gonna be democratic? If so, what about the people that will vote for the capatalist party? What If the capatalist party gains popular support? Will socialism just step aside?

      You say that like capitalists let countries become socialist when the people vote for it.
      Hint: they don’t

      Theoretically you can still have far left with capitalism you know, it just needs the heavy regulation it never gets

        Tf?
        Capitalism is incompatible with the far left which is about abolishing hierarchy and living in a stateless classless moneyless society.

          Far left != communism

          There is plenty of overlap, sure, but they are not entirely one and the same.

          ah, but vanguardism would like a word with you (also a communist system would not inherently have no money, just not the ability to purchase capital with said money)
