MODERATORS
They hate every socialist project on Earth because they legitimately believe all of the horrible things we lie about them. Not because they’re dedicated radlibs.
They believe those lies tho cuz it's smugly reassures them that things on the enlightened west must be better.
The thing is in terms of treats they're right. Socialism would be a downgrade for most first world workers in terms of creature comforts in the short term, FALGSC is rather off than we want to think it is. Sure some people may still give up their Xboxes, Chevy Silverados and Taco Bell in exchange for free healthcare and housing but there's plenty of other who can't fathom that sacrifice.
If that article is discouraging you from reaching out to and organizing with people who are explicitly already disillusioned with capitalism, then you are going against the actual purpose of the article. The purpose of it was not simply moral judgement of Westerners, but to readjust our goals to reach out and organize in the West.
What article?
