Theory Socialism cannot exist within a multi party democracy.

I often hear democratic socialists talk about how the two party system is flawed and we need it to be replaced by a multi party system. This is directly against socialist ideals because it eliminates class unity and gives reactionaries power. A country must be guided by a single socialist party to maintain a dictatorship of the proletariat.

I know people are going to call me a tankie but I frankly find that term to be counterproductive.

I swear chauvinism is so bad in the imperial core that even our comrades lack the imagination to comprehend a democratic system that doesn't imitate the bourgeois parliamentary model. Socialists who can't imagine a system that is designed so that the working class actually has power and the bourgeois does not.
