      It would be important that the regulation is constantly protected. The forces of greed will constantly be trying to dismantle it, and people are kind of stupid.

      Maybe the woodchippers do some of the heavy lifting there, but you then need to make sure they don’t get used for evil

        Democracy requires eternal vigilance. Democracy would fall if people stop caring about elections, and the socialist policies would be dismantled along with it.

        We need an overhauled political system and convince a supermajority of the country to vote infavor of a constitution that entrenches socialist values within it. (A supermajority is essential for better legitimacy, 51%-49% is very flimsy and people would doubt the results, but a 60%-40% is a very high margin and people would be less likely to doubt the results) Then we need a “Constitutional Court” with people who share those values to be seated in the court to defend the constitution.

        Sort of like Germany’s “Defensive Democracy”, but with added socialist values.

        But in the end, it still requires the people in power to actually do their job. (I’m not sure why Germany still haven’t banned AfD 🤔)

          Probably also need to really invest in education. People don’t just magically know political theory, and a lot of bad ideas can sound good at first

          Interestingly enough, it’s mostly the right wing that is anti education.
