    To be clear there is no such thing as “socialist” or “capitalist” policy, both are merely modes of production, where socialism is where public ownership dominates and workers control the state, and capitalism is where private ownership dominates and the capital-owners control the state. In other words, socialism is a workers’ dictatorship, capitalism is a dictatorship of capital. Canada falls under the capitalist mode of production. Although welfare is a very big part of socialist theory.

    The proletariat is the majority in most if not all societies, arguing the dictatorship of the proletariat is undemocratic merely because the word “dictatorship” doesn’t make sense. Democracy is [ideally, not what it is in practice] is a dictatorship of the majority, and the proletariat are the majority, surely you see how saying democracy is undemocratic makes no sense.

    States are instruments of oppression weilded by classes, they are all “dictatorships” in the sense that a class oppresses the other; the question in state is, is it the capitalists oppressing the working class, or the other way around

    This thread is explicitly about imperialist backing in the recent protests, not just protests in general. We weren’t talking about the kurdish conflict or anything, so it’s weird for your original comment to mock people for correctly accusing heavy foreign involvement.
