Sounds like fixing to me
Fixing would be if we had logical productive discussions about these. But the US government is fundamentally broken and it is functionally impossible to fix these things in a reasonable amount of time.
Sure, you can get to a utopia by first destroying the old system, just look at how nice the world is in Star Trek.
It's going to suuuuuck for you though, living through the apocalypse needed to clean out the old system. It might be quicker overall, but I wouldn't wish that pain on the current generations of people living in the US.
Rome wasn't built in a day?
The fun part is that you're on lemmy and I'm surprised no one has called you a conservative yet. This is because all of your ideas involve keeping the current system, and many people around here specifically want full socialism, Marxism, what have you
Huh? Most of those they listed are socialist ideas. And I'm pretty lemmy would agree with most of them.
Socialist by degree - but he mentions these things but not necessarily replacing the current system entirely. This is basically market socialism, which many (mainly Marxist-Leninists and the like) do not consider true socialism. There are a lot of MLs on lemmy. Hence my saying I'm surprised no one has come in yet to tell him he's not going far enough. We came close, someone called these fixes with the possible implication that he isn't going far enough, but not outright
Where?
Hold up I asked what political sistem would replace it. Lol not what changes we want no matter the system you are on
