If you thought voting for Democrats who are embracing Socialism would be kind of revolutionary or radical or social-chic, it’s actually very 19th-century, bordering on 11th. You might as well vote not to have to vote; it saves you the trouble of picking which ideological clone or despotic shit-heel from the one-party state will carry the news to you from the capital of the latest enacted tyranny.
The goal of Democratic Socialism is Socialism, but all the greatest mass-murderers in modern history agree that you may need the mob-rule power of Democracy to get there from here. Once there, you systematize the mob as a police state and execute the street thugs before they turn on you.
What exactly might that look like in practice?
The voters in Washington State passed “Initiative 638 — which would enforce separation of boys and girls in K-12 sports in Washington State.”
It won in 36 of 39 counties, but the school board, after deliberating behind closed doors, voted publicly Monday to authorize potential legal action against it, the Outkick article noted, adding that the meeting had not been widely publicized.
Voters overwhelmingly supported a measure to segregate biological boys and girls in sports, but the Mayor of Seattle doesn’t like it, so her School Board is going to sue to have it overturned.
Last night, the Seattle Public Schools Board of Directors voted to authorize legal action regarding Initiative 638. The Board’s decision reflects concerns shared by educators, families, community leaders, and the City of Seattle about the measure’s impact on student privacy, safety, dignity, and equitable access to educational opportunities.
As far as I can tell, 638 doesn’t do any of that and actually improve the “privacy, safety, dignity, and equitable access to educational opportunities, for girls.
Mayor Katie Wilson hates girls and women unless they have a penis. In that instance, she’s very supportive of their need to access girls’ and women’s spaces, whether they are just autogynephiles or plain old sexual predators looking for ease of access to prey.
It is not good for girls or women, and a majority of Washington State voters agree, but the ruling class in the People’s Republic of Seattle doesn’t like it. Not one bit. So Her Majesty and her education ministers will get an injunction and tie it up in court until they can get the verdict they desire.
More advanced forms of Democratic Socialism don’t even allow voters to decide things, so you can decide if this is better or worse. The affectation and exercise in futility, or an honest presumption that you bought into the lie and have to live with your choices.
Washington State maybe needs to vote on what New Hampshire has.
[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
It then needs the stones to make that happen.
