“Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” - George Orwell
Well, Orwell was a socialist, so.
Probably not that.
It’s against Stalinism, so both?
It’s anti-authoritarian
This was a really good video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I’m glad somebody watched it.
It’s pretty misleading to refer to Stalinist Russia as “the reality of socialism.” Kinda like calling the US the “reality of democracy.” Yes, it is nominally a democracy, yes it is built on democratic principles and has features of a democracy. But democracy is a broad concept and the US’s specific version of that is not the end-all-be-all of democratic systems, it is one example. Implying that the worst authoritarian aspects of the USSR are inherent to socialism is ridiculous.
