    The western left doesn’t agree on one form of socialism to align around so it is both impossible to criticize with any specificity and serves as a catch-all in opposition to the current system. It breaks down when they suddenly have to align on specific policies.

      That’s a good thing; socialism is a fledgling idea. It needs discoure and experimentation. The attack that lack of exact details and perfect cohesion is an empty one.

        Wanting to burn down the system without a coherent and specific approach to replace it only hurts people.

          How do you feel about Bernie or AOC, they are the system and aren’t trying to burn it down. They just want to fix the system.
