   I think my issue with liberals is that they often see (and focus on!) the root cause, but are MARRIED to maintaining current social order. So they don't do much to address symptom OR underlying ailment.

     So I'm wondering how the anti-authoritarian Left can raise its profile such that there are voices saying, "Yes, we SEE that this situation is not good. However, we need to do surgery here, not just apply a bandaid."

     And as we alleviate symptoms and tackle the root cause, we need to make sure the 'surgeon' isn't the same assailant that inflicted the wound. Oh, oh, and, also let people know that a critical part of that 'surgery' is SMASHING the current social order.

     There is a persistent narrative in the US that the Leftists are the ones who turn a "blind eye" to things that are "obvious social ills", rather than that Leftists are people who see those "obvious social ills" as symptomatic of deeper infrastructural issues that need to be extruded at the root rather than just whack-a-moled.

     I do agree the institutional Left's game, all too often, is to dispute that said social ills are even social ills at all (the "don't believe your lying eyes" approach).
