I am making gentle fun of socialism, because it was really bad.

It's weird how folks keep suggesting democractic practices, in and of themselves, are a balm for the ills they see in the world. The US's history alone should be sufficient evidence that more work is required.

It's also pretty amazing to watch American socialists frequently decide that they don't stand in solidarity with folks who have emerged from gone-wrong authoritarian regimes that claimed socialism because they are inconvenient talking points for their opponents.

It's not necessary to stand in solidarity, just engage the lived experience and substantive critique of socialism by people who lived under it, often starting as true believers. There's a broad literature on this that the American left just somehow doesn't want to read.

I also have little patience for the "no true Scotsman" approach of saying that anything that didn't work wasn't socialism, because socialism is supposed to be good.
