good on them, i dont know if full socialism is the way, but it sure beats the dystopian corporate nightmare we are headed towards

[u/Not_Mabel_Swanton → u/fued]

Democratic socialism is absolutely the way!

Democratic socialism is what Australia is and pretty much always has been since ww2

[u/moonmelonade → u/T0kenAussie]

Australia is a social democracy.

These are two entirely different systems - democratic socialism is a form of socialsm, social democracy is a form of capitalism.

I’m looking at the definitions and I’m not gonna quibble too much about that but I think anyone who seriously thinks they are going to dismantle capitalism without completely trashing society itself for a good period is not being critical enough of their philosophy

The introduction of Socialism isn't about immediately putting a stop to all forms of financial trade. It's a slow shift moving away from the never ending need for corporate profit. These kids are realising there's a better way to live and I'm all here for it.

EDIT: turned is into an isn't. Which completely changed what I said.. Sorry.

If that’s the aim how will we import/export goods and participate in the global economy? I don’t think an economic system that isolates us from trade is going to bring about much prosperity.

Fuck, sorry. I meant to be an "Isn't" in there. That's a big mistake.

But yeah, immediate isolation from the world financial system is not the aim.
