    When was he critical of socialism? I saw him once interview a socialist who said socialism in the USA was on life-support. That’s all I could find.

      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.
