Exactly so, J. A bit of socialism was tolerable to the gics of the 1950s - though only for the Pampered Twenty Percent even then - because it suited their schemes in that time of vigorous economic growth, when that was still possible for a while longer; and because they recognised it as a necessary compromise to avoid all-out revolution.
Now, though, the Limits To Growth/Long Descent syndrome has pitched us all into a new situation, where the only way that the gics can preserve their WealthPowerStatus over the majority is by drastic action.
That being, to terrorise the whole world population with a ‘mass-killing pandemic’ scam, with two simultaneous purposes in mind: Firstly, to impose a severe authoritarianism, worldwide as near as possible, to rescind all socialism and to replace it with enforced privation for the hoi polloi, so as to preserve the gics’ WPS-hoards entirely intact. And secondly, to enforce various means - the current attempt is through poison-stabs - to kickstart the fall in human population numbers which, had the gics just been a bit patient, would have materialised anyway, as the human fertility crash really gets into its stride; as it’s already doing.
It’s precisely the LTG/LD imperative - over which humankind have literally no control or choice at all now - which the gics’ tame intellectual servants have seen, and have warned them about. Any AAPA* observer can see it easily now, after all. This is what’s now pushing this whole changed attitude to any degree of socialism. That word, after all, means a fairer sharing-out of whatever the Earth’s bounty can offer us, plus - as ecosocialism - a suitably respectful attitude towards our mother planet’s life-support systems. Both being attitudes which are anathema to standard-issue psychopathic gics.
This is the existential struggle into which we’ve now been thrown, like it or not. Fortunately, it’s precisely the LTG/LD processes, together with the perpetual ungovernability of the Great Beast - we plebs - whenever we manage to rouse ourselves from Permanent-Bullshit-Blizzard-induced hypnotic sleep, which will defeat this current attempted near-global putsch; with a bit of shit-stirring help from us, the growing AAPA resistance, of course.
Encouraging to see the rising tide of mass-demos against authoritarian government impositions, now manifesting widely; soon to transition to civil disorder and outright revolutionary uprisings, as enough members of police and military forces wake up to what’s happening, and join the resistance. That’s already happening in Austria, where the gic-servants in goverment there were idiotic enough to announce a hundred-percent, fully enforced (FFS!) poison-stabbing for all. Dolts! All staggering off to Austrian A&Es right now, to get first aid for their bleeding feet. 
*Awake And Paying Attention.
Whereas all that’s really happening is that a bunch of vile crooks are attempting a (part) global coup. What else is new? We can - and will - defeat them without indulging in falling out amongst ourselves, which is very much what they’d like us to do, to assist their conspiracy. Cheers bro!
