It’s progress. It’s not nearly enough, but it’s not nothing either. I’m not convinced that Demsocs will get us where we need to go, and I think revolution is the only true way to get there, but I’m willing to hear them out and give them a chance, and we’ll be there for them if and when they either exhaust themselves or reach our way of thinking.
Also most successful communist movements spawned either from a social democratic movement that was resisted too much (Like the RSDLP), or from anti-colonial movements (which isn’t really relevant to the US)
The main counter example being the GDR, which came from military occupation by a communist power, which has always been what I assumed was the most likely method of getting socialism in the US, but I’d prefer to not have a global war so destructive that the United States gets occupied by China.

What if the national debt paranoia of previous conservatives was true, and China simply reposses the country?
