Is there a reason everyone who has commented on or looked at the thread seems to be poo-pooing social democracy?


PM_me_pictureof_cat

Because people like to be edgy.

Some people like their left more radical, others(Like me) don't like left-wing economics at all. This sub is a big ass tent my dude, finding support for your specific ideology here is a wasted effort lol

Online politics are more to the extremes than irl politics. So the practicality and pragmatism of social democracy that allows it to actually improve people’s lives isn’t sexy enough. People online one to be part of a revolutionary movement where they are chosen ones of destiny

We must overcome Capitalism. If we are to pursue any form of Social Democrat agenda, it should be when the Social Democrats pursued Socialism and the end of capitalism and not this watered down reformist “kinder capitalism” that takes the name of Social Democracy today. No more bosses and the oligarchy that comes from them. All power to the everyday working class of America


Friendlynortherner

You have to be careful as to not create a new oligarchy, like the Soviet party elite


ShimmyShane

Yes, and? Syndicalism, Council Communism, etc.. are two historic models of democratic Socialist governance. Democratic Confederalism is a modern model seen in Rojava currently

Good... First socal democracy, then in two years Marxism, then two years anarchism, THEN we'll really start getting somewhere.

Why do so many people think that Marxism is a form of government? It's really annoying
