You seemingly hold that any kind of government is a social pattern be
it despotism or democracy and protest my pointing out that a lower
pattern (and despotism is the rock bottom social rule) may be
overlaid/controlled by intellect. But you contradicted yourself in the
next post by saying
"Indeed I do. Real socialism for me means real democracy.
Real socialism to me means a society where people have the
time and the means to fully exercise a intellectually guided
democracy. I that isn't so, then it isn't a socialist society in my
book."
".... fully exercise a intellectually guided democracy" is correct in the
sense that socialism, social-democracy, right wing, left wing, any
shade of poltical view in between are solidly inside the democratic-
parliamentary kind of rule. The true social level is so totally different
that I find it difficult to take this serious.
