Nothing more ‘socialist’ than supporting the current world order but with some welfare
And unions, and higher tax brackets for the rich, and free housing food healthcare and college, and citizen governed infrastructure. Really everything already established in current socialist countries, minus the fascism and plus some democractic procedures.
I’ve seen Social Democracy get invented again at least five times in this thread
They really cant explain it. For all the salt and effort, they still can never explain what exactly they want that's so much more "leftist" than us.
"I just want a bigger cut of super profits looted from the Global South! Is that too much to ask for?!"
Name one example
Neocolonialism in the streets, social welfare in the sheets. Social democracy is neither democratic nor social (except if we're talking about socialising the rampant exploitation of the developing world, I guess?)
