    But, if you can explain that the success of the capitalist world and the failure of the socialist one, is due to an inherent strength of the former, doesn't that sort of suggest that the system with that strength is better than the one without it?
    Capitalism isn't a success and it relies on repression to keep functioning

    I am suggesting that it is.
    Yeah, and that dumb suggestion is pretty much the crux of everything wrong with what you say. You ignore literally all of the nuance in socialist movements throughout history for a static caricature.

    No static caricature presented. The post to which i responded suggested problems in developing socialism is the fault of those folks doing the building. Socialism as a whole is nrver at fault.

    having issues with the dotp doesn't wipe out the possibility of revolution and social transformation or whatever it means you have issues with a particular theory
    No- not with the theory of dotp- how its executed.
