I hear an awful lot of talk on this list like this -- "challenging the system of democratic politics." But I don't understand what this slogan really amounst to when it's completely unpacked and enunciated in plain English.
Does anyone have an actual, concrete proposal for something to replace "democratic politics" with? Are we talking about something like the fondly remembered Communist Party systems of "actually existing socialist countries"?
