It does show the cart-before-the-horse approach taken by this argument though. That politics determines the system rather than the system determining (crudely put) politics. Some very basic foundational arguments are either being forgotten here or deliberately being thrown overboard.
It reminds me of the sort of position would hear being taken by, for want of a better phrase, 'Marxism Today types'; it was wishful 'cart before horse' thinking then and remains so now.
