Or you'll reach a point at which you develop real principles, such as "don't compromise with fascists like the KKK"
Principled failure means dogshit. If half the country don't even know their side supports the KKK, having a fucking conversation is a lot more valuable than preaching to your base. A reminder Trump fucking won on racism and your principles meant nothing to the people who voted for him. The "No compromise, no discussion." left on Lemmy is fucking wild. You're barely a step removed from Anarchy and Civil War and it's a telling how fucking sheltered you all are for even suggesting it.
too many conversations, not enough action
Nobody gets from capitalism to socialism overnight without a lot of people dying.
More people die from starvation, homelessness, and avoidable diseases. These problems could be treated in an instant with a socialist system. The benefits outweigh any cost.
