So what your saying is, my position that Hamas isn't Palestinian, is wrong.
And when I hear of Palestinian babies getting killed or starved by the IDF. I should think those babies were members of Hamas. Hamas which is a militaristic religious organization.
I think what I am trying to get at, is that if I was in charge and had to not be in charge soon magically. I would choose a democracy. I would get rid of first past the post, the electoral college, and the two party system. I would try to create a fair and equitable society.
As I understand history the original decision for the electoral college was due to people in charge thinking that not everyone's vote should be held with the same weight. This is not something that I believe.
Now in my new country, could people vote back in the electoral collage and first past the post, sure, but there isn't much you can do about that without causing other problems.
If I had a magic wand, I would do 2. Given I don't have a magic wand. I think given our current, material conditions, I would shoot for 3. Finally, I think, if all else fails, I would join in 1.
Now I am familiar with the problems of 3. You really need to have a voting population who is on it. In it to win it. Understand politics. That is a very big ask, and I am not sure we got it. Also the longer we sit in 3. The more people suffer though this fascist situation we have. So that is pretty horrible. On the plus side, maybe if we sit long enough in 3, 2 will happen, but there is no guarantee.
So I find this a hard question to answer, it requires a crystal ball. I don't know how many lives would be harmed in either direction. If I knew I would pick the direction with the least amount of violence towards the least amount of people.
Once you get rid of it, how so you defend against its reimplementation?
If you are talking about have some kind of democratic or representative system. You would need to propagandize that this system that no longer exists is bad and we shouldn't try to re-implement it. Bad actors will be pushing for it.
Otherwise you could go the authoritarian rout and somehow keep that out, but kings fell to Capitalism before.
So it is hard. I don't really have a good answer here either. My though would be to kick the can down the road. I will try to get rid of Capitalism with my generation, how to keep it dead, that is a future generations problem.
How about this I was talking with someone else from Hexbear.
According to them, the plan is to get rid of Capital. Once that is out of the picture Democracy is good. Do you agree with that position? I have no problems getting rid of capitalism.
Tear everything down and then build up what? If it isn't another Democracy (I mean a political system in which voting and representation dictates who has power), then I am not interested. Why have a revolution under a fascist dictator if you are just going to get another fascist dictator or maybe a non-fascist dictator?
Great, sorry for wrecking the vibe. The language used against me seemed to indicate there was something more serious going on. Even now I am having several more nuanced discussions with others at Hexbear.
Thanks for this thoughtful reply. I have some questions, but I have been rightfully nudged by the mods to avoid rehashing arguments, so I will reply to you in DMs.
Sorry, yes, some Palestinians are Hamas. Not all Palestinians are Hamas.
Edit: But my point still stands. If Israel just killed all of Hamas, the Palestinian death toll wouldn't be this large.
Israel is claiming all Palestinians are Hamas to justify killing them. Israel is lying and wants to Genocide Palestinians.
