As far as I'm concerned, demcent is boiled down to "freedom of thought, unity of action", by Lenin

And I think this sort of thing kinda reminds me especially of the U.S duopoly but not exclusive to it

Unless there's something else to it and correct if I'm wrong?

I guess it seems it was coincidental for it to be termed by MLs, prolly becuz of the political necessity of action, yet ideological attachment, during a time of organizational chaos for Bolsheviks...

I think it's going to practically show up in any large enough organisation that still wants to have some internal debate, but at some point a decision does have to be made.

But it's like, you hear pro-Trump and pro-Kamala people emphasizing the "unity in action" part PUBLICLY through guilt-tripping us to vote for their candidate an' aw

Like, for example "regardless of what you think of Kamala's policy for Gaza, Trump will be way more worse" or "if you don't vote for Trump, 100 million {redacted} will cross the border and eat yer pets"
