    why do you even consider yourself a socialist at that point? like, you look around at the immense suffering capitalism necessitates and you think “hm, we should stop that,” but then you look at the empire built by and for the class that the whole system is designed to keep in power and you think that somehow they accidentally created a good, progressive global hegemon?
