It's interesting that Wolff says "in western europe socialists do not demand the nationalisation and socialisation of enterprises", claiming only communists want that. This is not my experience in the UK. The people that know what socialism is, want it.
Really feels like he's confusing social democrats and socialists. Or he's confusing the fact that socialists within electoralism are generally only advocating as far as social democracy because it's the furthest left position they can advocate for in the conditions they have. What they actually want is much more than what they're advocating for.
Wanting and even advocating are not demanding. But I can't speak for the conditions in the UK.
The socialists I know though are a lot more into electorial progressivism than global revolution.
