#China began #capitalist restoration in earnest in the late 1970's & has backed off of funding & materially supporting national #liberation & #socialist struggles since that time but go on
Also even as an advanced capitalist state/red #socialdemocracy it's kicking the futureless, #fascist #USA ass
Yet another extremely common W for #Nordic #SocialDemocracy and #democracy in general: I reviewed 56 quantitative studies examining the links b/w #democracy and #sustainability. 73% found evidence that democracies are usually better, and #welfare states often the best. #EnvironmentalPolicy

There are solutions, but #SocialDemocracy isn't it.
#BernieSanders, #AOC & who ever in the #FightingOligarchy crap aren't the real solution. After 2 elections in the #USA, it should be super clear how well working within the #DemocraticParty goes and #Sanders given 2 opportunites to break away from the #Democrats instead of defending them as "good friends" should show you distrust to people like this.
Farming is such a noble occupation by nature, Feeding the people is a beautiful thing. But when you get money from leaving a field fallow, that is money that "we the people" paid, it is socialism through and through. Acknowledge that and embrace that it is not just for you a chosen few. #maga #democracy #socialdemocracy #farming

If the US could stop fearing communist ghosts and try to understand how different it is from social democracy, then it may have some hope of improving its society.

What you call #neoliberalism is late stage #capitalism, you can't have non-neoliberal capitalism, and you can't have a #socialdemocracy either.
As long as this myth of non-neoliberal capitalism exists things will only get worse. And the pseudo left of reformers and pseudo-#socialists have a large responsibility in reproducing this myth.

...the failure of the Meidner plan. In the UK, we started to talk about "the forward march of labour halted".
Although we cannot turn the clock back, understanding what was and was not possible in those years should help social democrats forge a path ahead now.

“If you look at the bigger picture, isn’t this growing fear of immigrants showing the lack of confidence of Western societies?”
Part, even if not all, of this "lack of confidence" in Sweden and other western societies can be traced to the impasse of social Democratic movements in the 1970s. In Sweden, this took the form of...

People are seeing Bernie and AOC attempt to rise up against billionaires and oligarchy and are now calling themselves socialists, and that is good, but Bernie and AOC are more social democrats rather than socialists. #BernieSanders #AOC #Socialism #SocialDemocracy
Once again, yet another extremely common W for #SocialDemocracy.
Look at any measurement of societal success ever devised. Social democratic societies always crowd the top spots.
EU ought to export Social Democracy. Not by force, but through hearts and minds.

“We need more social budgets than ever, more social rights, more social welfare, more public housing policy, more – and better – employment. The other approach is to fall into the dialogue of the far right, and there the far right wins.” https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/10/if-you-fall-into-the-dialogue-of-the-far-right-the-far-right-wins-spains-deputy-pm-on-the-need-for-workers-rights #Spain #socialdemocracy #workersrights
#Communism seems like a good idea until you realise it requires an autocratic vanguard.
Likewise #Anarchism seems like a good idea until you discover communal factions which necessitate a social contract.
In between is #SocialDemocracy. That also seems like a good idea until you find out that half of the public are hypnotised by the propaganda of special interests.
Good arguments made from each side. The left care more about public interest, but that is also why we squirm more over policy.
#Neoliberalism destroyed the US and traumatized the #EU. But that era is finally over. Now let's make sure #egalitarian #keynesianism wins over fascism once again. This is an opportunity. 
@Philipnschofield
Full on #corporate #capitalism with little to no safeguards eventually ends up on the far right of the political divide into unashamed #oligarchic #fascism and #tyranny.
We have #Reagan-Thatcher sponsored #ChicagoSchool of #Economics’ made to order theory of #neoliberalism to thank for it. As well as weak democratic (not to say corrupt) govts, who probably saw the excesses of the economic system but chose not to do a damned thing about it due to the benefits they derived.
I’m afraid it will take more than an #election-eviction of right-wing govts to set us back on the #SocialDemocracy path. #War is coming my friend unless someone very powerful pulls a rabbit out of a hat, and soon.
I’m normally a very optimistic guy, but I cannot ignore the obvious. 
Attention Democratic Socialists, Social Democrats, and all other reformist socialists:
Capitalists will not give up their power voluntarily. Capitalism will not be abolished peacefully. The working class must remove capitalists from power and abolished capitalism by force.
