If capitalists (e.g. local petite bourgeois) take control of the village, it will rapidly lose the ability to elect people other than running dogs, and if they don't control the village then it doesn't apply to what the person said.
And thats why the village is armed and educated, and to your other non point, sure.
I don't see why you feel the need to make that jab when what you said literally just isn't a response to what the first person said, because they stipulated "capitalist 'democracy'".
What was the point of your original response? It seems like you just wanted in while it was hot, not really adding anything. It seemed more you wanted to comment with the "good opinion" rather than actually wanting to add or share anything. That's why.
I really don't understand this animosity, which is now in the form of poorly psychoanalyzing me. You failed to engage with the actual premise of what the person you responded to said, so I was essentially restating the premise because there's no way to proceed if people are talking past each other from the jump.
Read it again, dont see how I didnt engage. Maybe you felt I didn't. But I did. So I am left wondering, did you just want to say your piece? I'm left with nothing but to assume so.
You didn't engage because it was part of the basic premise of what ClathrateG said that we are talking about "capitalist 'democracy'", stating that such systems have no choice but "knaves and thieves". You ostensibly ignored the "capitalist" part of it to respond like it was just talking about democracy in literally any context (so you can stipulate your village). I don't know how I can explain it more simply.
A: Can you say that any human denied water for a month would survive?
B: Yes, if they have water.
C: It's part of the premise of the prompt that they don't.
B: Nice non-point, guess you just wanted hop on this hot convo topic to say your thing and perform having a "good opinion."
