So we can't organize a government? A democratic government is just a social apparatus, a social institution, organized by the people to manage their large-scale socioeconomic and civil affairs and projects. It's not inherently good, nor is it inherently evil, it's whatever you and I and everybody else in our society decide it's going to be (it's a management tool). If you want to live in a modern, civil, peace-loving country, that respects and protects people's human rights, with a large population like ours, then we need a democratic government. Did you notice the word, "democratic"? It means "rule of the people"., through a democratic process and respect for law and orderAgreed. But that's not what you're selling. You're selling something different - "Without government owning the means of production, you're nothing", and I just don't buy that. Socialists routinely pretend that community, compassion, mutual support etc ... can only happen via government mandates. When, in fact, mandated "community" isn't community at all. It's just drones following orders. Real community, the kind that binds us together in a meaningful way, can only happen through voluntary collaboration.
In a marketless system of mass production, the government offers its vast, extensive resources to assist its citizens in organizing mass production. It manages our commonwealth, like a management company. The government's "Central Planning Department, or CPD", in collaboration with the labor unions and worker cooperatives, provides all of the facilities, machinery, intelligent worker robots, AGI, supercomputers, all of the self-driving, autonomous mining and shipping vehicles, harvester drones..etc. All of this is our "commonwealth", it belongs to all Americans.
You and I own the means of production, all of these technological wonders, together, as a community. The government is just a publicly owned management company, that's it. The logistics and accounting of mass production are done by the CPD, with all of its resources dedicated to making sure you have more shoes and smartphones you'll know what to do with. Food, housing (if you already have a house or land, you keep it, period, it's yours), cars, your AR15 collection, your computers, your personal robot assistant..etc. It's all yours. That's personal property.
There are regular elections. You don't have to wait two years before you can elect someone to represent your district's needs, in the US Congress. You can keep that delegate in office for 20 years, or you can elect him or her and then recall them for incompetence or corruption, after only two months of them being in office.
Every current federal congressional district in your state or county will have Community Activism Centers or CACs, where you can organize drives, and different campaigns to educate the public and call them to become active participants in the democratic political process. All Americans, regardless of their political views, can attend district council meetings, expressing their concerns, grievances, petitions, calls for a referendum, and policy proposals on the podium, before the elected district councilors and their fellow citizens.
The CAC has different "Action Committees" that focus on specific issues and interests, addressing them directly. Any citizen can participate and even hold a chair in one of these action committees. This is just a basic description of how it could be.
This idea that a democratic-socialist government is by default tyrannical, is nonsense. We're Americans, we're not socialists from some other country or culture. American council-socialism/democratic socialism has its own unique characteristics, which include a love for freedom, justice, and a right to defend ourselves against tyranny.
We're for the people owning combat rifles, with ammunition. The government will actually provide you with a combat rifle and 1000 rounds of armor-piercing ammo. You can open carry a pistol in public or conceal carry. That's my political party's stance on firearms. Do we sound like Chinese communists? We're American Democratic Socialists. Yes, we are nationalists, = AMERICA FIRST. The real MAGA. We're not fake MAGA.
