"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

This infantilizes critique. The weaknesses of so-called "democratic socialists" are valid to point out, as forming a strong, coherent line with a unified base is the most important task for organization and preparation for revolutionary conditions. We can still work together on projects, of course, but that doesn't mean ignoring glaring weaknesses. It isn't simply because they are different, it's because the matter that is different is structural weakness and usually opposition to existing socialism.
