Okay, see we should organize to violently depose the Republican party since they are the primary obstacle in the way of creating a more fair and just society, right?

Its just how he speaks. He hardly ever explicitly supports any state.

For sure, I definitely agree about just wanting a system that works. I am a socialist because it is the only path forward to actually improve society and we know this through applying Marxism, and frankly if that isn't the perspective you are coming from that will inevitably lead to dogmatism.

I have heard heard critiques from anarchists and Maoists along the lines of "you can't support something just because 'it works', it has to build socialism/erase hierarchies etc." which is both such a wild thing to say but also I agree with the kernel of truth in there. Like, yes just because something works for over the short term does not mean it will work long term and socialism is necessary to guarantee the reproduction of an equitable, just society. However, it is incredible to be so dismissive of projects that demonstrably improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people when we already know building socialism is going to be a long and difficult process filled with errors anyway. So we should dismiss successes in improving peoples lives because its not the "right way"? There is an incredible burden of proof IMO to say that such projects are ultimately harmful and frankly I have never seen even close to sufficient evidence presented to support these claims.

It's also incredibly revealing of the class character within global capitalism of the people who espouse these critiques. You are letting us all know that you are in a position where you are safe enough to wait for the "proper" socialist project to come along, but do you think colonized/imperialized peoples in West Africa or Pakistan have that luxury?

But this is a great system that the whole world needs to adopt, and if they don't we will make them at gunpoint

I think conflict over this comes from erroneously extrapolating the idea of "We need to ensure that the changing geopolitical climate furthers the socialist project" to "These countries are not socialist so therefore these changes are irrelevant to building socialism"
