    I refuse to do the seriously/literally thing with socialists. Didn't anyone learn from doing that with nationalists? It's not just a way to express dislike for something else. The most innocuous versions of proposals are stepping stones, not endpoints. Seriously *and* literally.

        Any given policy–even status quo–can be cast as a stepping stone to some extreme or other. There are no perfectly centrist policies. Obviously policies should be interpreted in a broader context that includes the inferred desires of its proponents but important to avoid paralysis

        That's true. And I'm generally opposed to slippery slope arguments. But I'm also opposed to explaining away an ideology with a long history of terrible outcomes with "they don't really mean it," or "this time will be different."

        Absolutely. Anyone who says "they don't really mean it" should be taken to task for being disingenuous. "This time will be different" often sparks a fruitless discussion but is usually about extreme implementations that are simply not realistic to pursue in the west. 1/2

        But, looking in from the, outside it's difficult for me to assess the actual support for those extreme implementations among those young modern Democrats who embrace the DS label. Feel like actual extremists are few but cast a long and dark shadow. They should be sidelined. 2/2

        Do Socialists also over-generalize about groups of people while providing zero examples?
