A question to my US comrades, how popular is Irish republicanism over there?

    Considering "democracy" is what just destroyed labor laws in favor of Uber in california when laws that protected workers passed with 75 percent of votes in the legislative "republic" bodies, it's more complicated than saying one is better than the other in all cases.

      i should clarify by saying, according to my calculations, the united states is neither a democracy or a republic. it is a monster that consumes humans and defecates dollars.

      Bourgeoisie democracy is not a good model. That is exactly why workers of the industry should control their own fates, so consumers can't decide to fuck them over unilaterally.

        One thing that's at least beneficial about the American model is that should you take over an executive office (mayor/governor/president, AG/DA/ect) you have unilateral powers to act without needing the legislature.

        Legislative bodies are truthfully immovable, and they were designed that way for the reason that immovability benefits intrenched wealthy folks.
