"Also, criticizing socialism is not magical thinking. It's been a proven failure over and over." That's just partisan nonsense, platitudes disguised as criticism. You need to do a lot better than that. I could come back with plenty of failure modes for capitalism as well, but I very much doubt you'd call them proof that capitalism is a "proven failure", and I wouldn't make that argument myself. There are many cases where socialism has worked well and continues to work well.
