One man, one vote, one way, one time.
That is how “democratic socialism” is established. And once entrenched, as in Cuba or Venezuela, the doctrines are enforced with murderous “death squads” that roam the streets and gathering places, to assure that the underground countervailing forces never gain enough traction to threaten the ruling oligarchs.
All forms of socialism descend into a paramilitary rule.
As the saying goes, Socialism — you vote yourself in, you shoot your way out.
