i think i explained it pretty clearly, but ok. i guess in even simpler terms the issue is that they are a reactionary right wing ideology disguised as leftism. you can see from the recent betrayal by mamdani that democratic socialism can’t achieve anything at all. it’s essentially a zionist movement created with the purpose of coopting anti zionist movement into doing nothing at all.
Is your gripe with “Democratic Socialism” as a concept? Because these authors were interviewed by the DSA? If so, that seems silly. I don’t even know what political theory each of them identifies with.
Have you considered assessing the ideas presented by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor on their merits?

Here’s the interview with Elia Ayoub: https://thefirethesetimes.com/2025/06/30/the-rise-of-end-times-fascism-w-naomi-klein-astra-taylor/
For anyone not familiar, Elia is a great thinker and interviewer. He’s a Lebanese Palestinian journalist and historian. Check him out.
“Listen to this Zionazi for political theory” no thanks.
It sounds like you have no idea who Naomi Klein is and have never read a single thing she’s written or said (including that article).
For anyone interested, the actual article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/11/why-are-some-of-the-left-celebrating-the-killings-of-israeli-jews
I don’t know why you think that supports your case
