even if it were true that every socialist movement has objectively failed, if you see socialism as a politics of liberation, it wouldn't matter. it'd be like saying slave revolts always failed

@liftrs If slave revolts always failed then one would try other approaches to obtaining freedom. For example fleeing rather than revolting.

@liftrs

In this example that would be social democracy. which is also socialism, thats wgy it breaks down there. The term is too big of an umbrella.

@commandelicious @liftrs In general analogies can ony stretch so far. I was less interested in defaming the idea of socialism and more about the logic of the analogy.
