    demanding absolute purity and claiming anything else isnt socialist doesn’t result in socialism.

    Pretending that socialism is “when the gubment does stuff” hasn’t resulted in socialism, either.

    Quite frankly the entire world would become fascist before a single nation

    Yes, that’s what political elites do when the power and privilege of the class they serve is threatened - and that includes the ones pretending to be “socialist.”

    We’ve known this since forever - and your solution to this is to render an enduring political concept so impotent and hollow that it ceases to have any meaning to the very people it is supposed to liberate?

      The solution is to be pragmatic and support various socialist groups when it makes sense to do so. For example I voted for Mamdani and I dont regret it whatsoever, obviously he’s not going to declare revolution and instate a pure socialist utopia.

        And this excuses buying into tanies’ warped and self-serving narratives of what socialism is… how?

        For example I voted for Mamdani

        And If I was a New Yorker I would have voted for him as well… but that doesn’t mean I confuse him or the anti-democratic electoral spectacle he was a player in as having anything to do with socialism at all.
