My point is that what should happen in an ideal world doesn't necessarily happen. We can't get the DNC to transition to a Socialist platform, their donors are the bourgeoisie. Even if 90% of USians support Socialism, ie an economy where public ownership is the principle aspect, without siezure of the state and replacing with a proletarian-run state, such a re-orientation of the economy is impossible. The policy in bourgeois republics reflects the will and needs of Capital, and by extension the acolytes that worship it, the bourgeoisie.
