Yes... I too believe that capitalism is incompatible with actual democracy.

Indeed. With Flynn however, I'm putting money down on him being vaccinated. Same with all the others who aren't so good at concealing their grift. He also told a packed crowd at a recent-ish event to ask him if he was vaccinated, and before they could finish the question he said "it's none of your damn business!" Which still elicited huge cheers. He's vaccinated. Just like all the Fox news presenters. Sorry, forgot to use correct and legally obligated punctuation..."news."
'It's none of your business' in response to asking whether or not someone is vaccinated is a giant conformation that the person in question is vaccinated. And when it's coming from the gaping hole of a right-wing pundit it also functions as an audience endorsed way of saying 'You get the fuck outta the way of my gravy train'.

I mean, you're right, in as much as all it takes is calling yourself a communist for me to consider you a communist. We have a handful of those here; other than that, I don't know who you would be referring to.
It's the same as it always ever was. You're choosing to interpret my words to mean something that they don't. I never said people aren't being dangerous or harming others. Never even implied it. Others have chosen that position for me.
Ok, then I was wrong. You still spend an awful lot of time yelling at people who aren't here.
First off, what is sexual anarchy, and secondly, why should we not want it, cuz it's sounds fucking awesome!
Conservatives seem to be terrified that other people might be experiencing joy, when obviously God wants them to be miserable.
If so, I'm in good company. Only difference is, I'm not trying to convince everyone else to be afraid of the things I gotta risk being around every day. Can't say the same thing for people who try to convince me that, even here in Dumpwater USA, I should look under the bed for ANTIFA, BLM, and SJW's.
Man, where was this shot when I was in my twenties? I’m in my mid thirties now and somehow I don’t think I’ll appreciate it nearly as much.
And just like that, we're using fake school board activists to demonize sex ed and LGDTQ kids
"Sexual reproduction is one of the most important concepts of biology (and that's why schools shouldn't teach it)"
I swear, conservatives think left wing groups are all coordinated because it's what they do.
The Chilean constitution is being drafted by elected representatives, and that draft is then put to a popular vote. It's a process existing squarely within a representative democracy.
Cuba, on the other hand, also put a constitution to a popular vote after it had been written by elected representatives.
The primary difference is that that representative democracy doesn't extend to the higher echelons of the government, which are not democratic at all.
If your contention that it be important that this be done by "professionals", Chile is explicitly not using their professional class. They shut out their "professionals".
My "contention" is that the draft constitution in Chile was designed by elected representatives, which it inarguably was. Confirmation was the only direct-democratic element, which I'm absolutely fine with. I have no problem with direct democratic elements in a representative democracy.
Even when it goes against everything you say, and is entirely the elements you don't like about direct democracy?
If you think occasional conformational referenda constitute "entirely the elements I don't like about direct democracy", then you haven't actually understood my position at all.
