I always hated the Leninist model of communism.
Lenin betrayed the revolution because he lost the 1917 election.
He dissolved the newly elected assembly 13 hours into it’s first meeting. (Not that the meeting lasted for 13 hours, they had adjourned for the day, and then Lenin declared them all Counter Revolutionary)
That single act started the Russian Civil War.
Then he has the gall to claim that the new totalitarian government he formed was in any way socialist.
If the state owns everything, and you have zero say in what that state does, then you don’t live under socialism, you live under feudalism.
The only path to socialism is via democracy.
Just because you’re too lazy to actually look them up, doesn’t mean that they aren’t full of equations.
This is one Proof of Arrow’s Theorem;
See how helpful that is? No, Well, if you had a phd in math or political science it would be.
This is the wiki link if you want the full Proofs. And that’s just Arrow’s Theorem.
Durverger’s Law is both simpler, and more targeted. It simply states that if you have a system of government where there is single winner elections and plurality voting, you will inevitable have a two party system, and that further, any attempt to create a viable Third Party is not only doomed to failure, but is actively harmful to the interests of those Third Party voters.
In other words, the Spoiler Effect, Like what happened with Ralph Nader in 2000. He’s the reason why Bush won.
