If there's going to be a second wave of socialist uprisings in the world in the near future, which country do you think is going to become the first second wave people's democracy? (lemmy.ml)

With China's popularity rising, there has to come a point where a country's population decides to say:
"We need to follow a Marxist-Leninist model pronto if we want to remain a functioning society, because capitalism isn't working anymore."
Which country is gonna say it first?

I hope it won't be a country, but basically the EU. It's diverse enough that eventually all people have to cooperate. They already heavily lean into Open Source and many EU laws are quite good.

My issue with the EU is just that there still seem to be a lot of half-incompetent right wing capitalists in power, e.g. Ursula von der Leyen.

The left is shit at marketing... So the communist days may never come.

Marketing is for shit-for-brains, is the main problem here. The workers, once exposed to what socialism is in a correct form, become skeptical of exploitation, especially marketing.

Smartening up the deliberately-infantilised workers, who are kept ignorant & pliable on purpose, is the way. Or else you simply believe education is impossible just because education is trash in the "west".

It's funny how lefters and righters accusing Ursula von Der leyen to be on other side. She is just f@$#&! Marionette for who pays more. She is hated of both sides.

Maybe... But if she does the bidding of her right wing puppet masters, doesn't that make her a right wing puppet herself? She was CDU before, which is kinda right wing in Germany. By definition conservatives can't bring change.
