Yes but the alternative is no democracy. Democracy is flawed even when operating correctly, but it the greatest equalizing tool humanity has ever invented, and Marx recognized it

Liberal party-based democracy is not the only form of democracy

Original comment

Communism but within the framework of liberal democracy so the capitalists can simply walk back into power 😩👍🏼

Your comment:

Yes but the alternative is no democracy

My interpretation is of that is the original comment is saying the problem with liberal democracy is that it lets the capitalists retake control and you saying that if we don't allow the possibility for the capitaliststo retake control then it's not real democracy.

Did I misunderstand you?
