Socialists are actually pretty good at criticizing AES states, because we bother to study what the actual issues are and not just fall back on tired inaccurate stereotypes.
Materialists will always have a better grip on reality than idealists.
The reason the libs are consistently so out of touch is that the core feature of their worldview is a complete rejection of causal reality. By subjugating the importance of material conditions to ideology, they leave space for whomever to insert whatever narrative, probably bourgeois.
We launder better criticisms of AES precisely because we want to build socialism, seek to learn from its past failures, and use those lessons to build a stronger socialism. Materialist thinking is scientific, and as such, iteratively gravitates in the direction of truth. Idealist thinking is magical and is easily taken down many paths leading away from truth.
