   Really the worst idea socialists have had in the last decades is the incorporation of social justice in progressivism. It's scared away so many people with moderate-economic-socialism sympathies that it's become much harder for socialist parties to actually accomplish something.

      @verius Um, social justice is literally what socialism is about. If that's a bad idea for socialist parties to advocate that then it's bad for them to be socialist which is paradoxical to the very least
      What's a socialist party if it doesn't advocate for equal opportunities for people of any class, at education, labour, a right to live (healthcare), etc.?
      Unless you mean something else by this term.

         @xrevan86 I guess I should have used caps. I was referring to the modern definition of "social justice", not the old one.
