MODERATORS
I don't know what you mean by "authoritarian tendencies," AES states are generally more democratic for the working class than Capitalist states. I think you're just accepting the tyranny of the bourgeoisie as outside the realm of democracy, when political economy is interlinked.
As for the EU, it's in decay and relies on Imperialism, it isn't a sustainable model and they are thoroughly vassalized by the US Empire.
As for Socialism, I don't mean Social programs. I mean moving from an economic model where Private Property is dominant to one where Public Property is dominant. You're right, this will be a long process, but it will be through such a model based on Public Owneship. Look to the PRC to see the kind of long, drawn-out process this is in action.
