Anybody else feel so annoyed when western leftists say "It WaSn'T rEaL sOcIaLiSm" despite the massive evidence to the contrary? - eviltoast

It was really annoying back when I was a rightist but it’s even more frustrating now that I am a Marxist-Leninist that so-called “leftists” denounce pretty much every single successful socialist experience in history.

    I think you’re missing the Dem Soc perspective; arguing that AES isn’t “true” Socialism/Communism let’s them ignore the imperfections of reality in favor of the ideals/positives which is an easier sell to an electorate. Its also a lot easier for political hopefuls to go along with the red scare rather than fight it.
