I praise socialism even when it’s just government ownership, because it is more accountable to the people than if it was in private hands.
You are right to criticise both systems for not being more communist than they are, but don’t be blind to actual socialism when it exists just because it’s flawed.

They aren’t criticising both systems, they’re arguing for liberalism.

Not necessarily. Haven’t seen them say that. They’re attacking state communism, sure, but that’s not necessarily a defence of liberalism.
