Social Security has been around for what ~ 80 years? I'm sorry, but no human thinks this long term (i.e. longer than a person's life span) WRT achieving any specific goal. Moreover, I'm not even sure you could point to a coherent strategy of "the left" to achieve any massive overarching goal, because liberals, centrists, social democrats, and those on the radical left all have different priorities, outlooks and goals and don't often agree with each other on what is achievable and how to go about it.
