Unless, as I suspect, we're arguing over the semantics of the word structural.

That’s my point, yes. Our friend up there was quick to agree the governmental structures were put in place deliberately to prevent progress and to foster fascist autocracy. And that’s just bullshit. A very common bullshit notion in many corners of the Lemmy political threads.

It’s a form of defeatism that encourages non-action, it’s a significant hinderance to fixing these problems and it’s got the backing of many who consider themselves “leftist” and also foreign state actors.

The structure is sound. Fixing all this broken shit doesn;t mean destroying the structure of government. That’s just idiocy.
