No yeah I'm in agreement on a deeper level, and down to have that conversation among ourselves. The average person in my community is not up to speed on all that yet, so it's a matter of giving people "baby's first socialism" so they can start having their own experience tryingnto build a better world. If they have any earnestness about resolving some of the domestic issues, they'll learn from the blowback and contradictions they run in to on their own terms which will be much more effective than me beating them over the head with theory about how it's actually futile (but I'm right tho!).

It is funny to me to move a couple of my socdem sympathetic friends to more confident and principled Demsocs. They go and talk to more liberal friends of theirs (with newfound confidence) and tell me they are surprised at how much pushback they get about something like universal healthcare haha
