Good grief, a (too) long, disjointed screed with an attempt to sound 'intellectual'.
WTF does this even mean?
Not to be confused for a totalitarian nostalgist, I would support a kind of socialism that would be democratic and aimed primarily at decommodifying labor, reducing the vast inequality brought about by capitalism, and breaking capitals stranglehold over politics and culture.

Sure, why not? Over 100 years of failure means nothing.

The classic — “They didn’t do it right last time. We have better people now, so it will certainly succeed if we give it another chance.”
We’ve been down this road about a million times.

...breaking capitals stranglehold over politics and culture. And the only way to accomplish that is at the point of a Government gun.

Appears Ms. Elizabeth Bruenig is the Washington Post’s millennial opinion writer. I’m not impressed so far.

We’ve already leaned in that direction far enough to cause a lot of economic trouble.
No thanks. Time to move back toward capitalism.
