    fundamentally impossible to install any sort of checks and balances on a single party-system. Look how bad it is with a two-party system in the US.

    Buddy, checks and balances are one of the many reasons why our democracy doesn’t work. I already covered this elsewhere in this very post.

      The failure of democratic checks and balances does not preclude the failure of communist checks and balances as well.

      Democratic Socialism is where I’d like the US to head. But we have to start consistently winning majorities so that we can fix the disproportionate representation that’s hurting progress and making electing the progressives needed for change difficult.
