One doesn't need to take centuries old writing as dogma to learn from it or expand upon it. Your narrow definition of socialism is outdated by contemporary standards. You don't have to like it or agree, but don't shoot the messenger.

Your narrow definition of socialism is outdated by contemporary standards.

No. It isn't. You just wish it was.

but don’t shoot the messenger.

No, I think we'll just settle for debunking you... which would be no more difficult to do than with any other "enlightened centrist" claptrap.

You're excluding yourself, Clyde. Don't expect leftists to include you while you're trying to camouflage the fact that appeasing the status quo serves your interests - that's the kind of shit we have become really good at seeing through.

You heard it here first folks. Democratic socialism is the statues quo. I think we've sufficiently beaten this horse.
