I think a lot of people have already given up on reform like Zoran have and believe that revolution is the only path to change which is probably true.

The problem is that you are only allowed to truly turn on someone when they start to compromise on their values. Usually with reformist they do that way before they start to win any elections. Zoran has made minor speech compromises but in his values he hasn't really

I feel like a lot of leftists are preemptively shooting their load early before Zoran has committed any major mistakes. Do I believe Zoran will eventually fail because he starts compromising too much like Bernie Sanders Yes probably. But criticizing him this hard now is a tad unfair.

Compared to all other leaders, including China and Russia, Zohran's position is actually far more uncompromising right now.
