That's why the aim is always on "socialism", which is defined as
"that which supersedes Capitalism." There are many socialist political
parties, but they do little else but smear the name "socialism,"
because they do not even want to end capitalism. Therefore they are
not formally socialist parties, but only pretence (liars). Ofcourse
they know this (presumably), but the voters don't (seem to).
I figure it is really very simple: abolish capitalism by nationalizing
all banks and (large) investments, deny capitalists (economic gamblers)
state protections in law (protections for loan/investment contracts),
and to make sure put a maximum on wealth owned in money. That ends
capitalism and its negative effects on companies, and would therefore
formally start socialism. Naturally the system could be improved beyond
this "bare bones post-capitalism." But it would achieve a lot, and make
the democratic government the sole government (not in competition with
capital anymore). Since it is a rather simple change, it is very
practical to achieve. The government should then be kept strictly
subservient and democratic, or else it would act as a single private
investor (State Capitalism).
