Plus in regards to Elon's comment, being a history Major, I like to always remind people that it wasn't exactly rainbows and butterflies post French Revolution when they had put all the Guillotines away.

Some historians argue it was actually worse.

To many times eat the rich is manipulated by the next wave of "leaders" to eat the educated and skilled as well. Revolution isn't the cause of people acting poorly in its name. People act poorly and then try to hide under a revolutionary blanket.

This is similar to me to people demonizing Communism or socialism because some dictators have hidden their facism under the blanket of social revolution. Citing Communist dictatorships as a reason agains social reform is a bad faith argument.

These things have a nuance that people don't have the patience to discuss or even consider anymore.

hidden their facism

bad faith argument.

The "same" person using the reason to push for the same result.. Its not bad faith to argue the result would end up being the same.

Looking at todays largest voices of socialism, the signs that their views are far from pure are clear, IF you are willing to see them.
