It's better than pretending that repeating history and failed ideas will magically generate a different outcome. Pretending that we can 'fix' capitalism with more regulations or more reforms is silly when there has never been a successful capitalist country in history.

They, at best, have to adopt socialist-adjacent policies paid for by the explicit rape of slave countries and colonies just to survive a few more decades; with no actual plans for what happens if those colonies throw off their chains or how to ever stop exploiting people to survive.

Great, you get to just make up an argument I never made and run with it. My favorite.
