    Exactly. His defeatism was criticism. His alarmism was dissuation.

    Look, I’m not labelling him the enemy or anything, but I just don’t like the guy.

      Personally saying that socialism is half-dead seems like a good description to me. It was also seen as an improvement from being totally dead in that interview. Adam himself is a union guy so he definitely seems not defeatist.

      In any case I can understand your position. I personally dislike quite a few people in the movement even if I don’t see them as enemies.
