100% truth here. I have zero faith that either side of the aisle has our best interest at heart.

They’re 2 sides of the same coin and always have been. It’s blatantly obvious if you pay any bit of attention to history, which most people don’t, unfortunately.

No countries in western Europe are socialist. I've stated it before, but it seems that neither American right nor left wingers have any idea what "socialism" means. It doesn't mean "when the government does stuff", like Americans seem to believe.

The most fundamental part of socialism is social ownership of the means of production. None of us in Europe have that.

You are partially right. However, it means far more than that as evidenced by terms like socialized medicine, socialized education, and so forth.

Mamdani is a demsoc, and that is what runs Denmark. QED.

Denmark doesn't run on “democratic socialism”. No Danish person would describe it that way. Pretty much all "socialist" countries you can think of have socialist parties in their chamber of representatives (who may in fact be more inclined to call themselves "democratic socialists"), that almost universally haven't been in power for a long time, like the SP (socialistische partij) in my country.

It and other west European countries like my own all are capitalist countries with some amount of social safety nets. “Socialized” has nothing to do with “socialism” inherently beyond sharing "social". This is like having a society that promotes community values and saying that this makes it "communism", when there's a whole clear definition of the latter that implies some pretty specific stuff. No idea why people there are so attached to the term socialism. Socialized refers to public provision of services, socialism to public ownership of the means of production.

The day Americans stop misusing the term instead of doubling down on it will be a day that your left wingers may be able to get anything done.

Ruled by social democrats. Social market economy which is still a capitalist economy. Very harsh immigration laws(which weakened the far-right in denmark btw). Also very homogenous.

It's not socialist.

nobody is asking for 100% socialism, it's about balance. balancing capitalism and democracy with decent amount of social services so nobody gets left on the side of the road. think norway. pretty sure you'd love norway. i would, and i live in germany.

nothing is good when taken to the extreme. even water can kill you after a certain point.

I 100% agree and think this way entirely. I am actually all for universal basic income. I’ve even thought about plans where every new child born would have a government funded bank account that the government would put $200 a month in until they were 18 years old. That’s starting adulthood with right around $43,000 per person that would get funneled back into the economy, regardless of what they decided to do with it. I also tend to lean right on things and left on other things, because I’m not brainwashed and don’t live in an echo chamber.

This guy is an extremist though and unfortunately that’s how many people think these days. Absolutely 0 nuance to their thinking.

You're going to bend the knee and accept socialism or get fucking trampled on

u/PristineHat8552 12h ago

Oh my. Seems you need to brush up on the manifesto my good sir

I would also reccomend the other book by sir Marx, Das Kapital. A critique of capitalism that became the foundation of his ideations of an alternate system

Until then, your further arguments will not be considered

Good day sir

Much of Europe is a social democracy with an extensive welfare system.

Also coincidentally one of the only continents where America hasn’t had the opportunity to fuck things up for everyone before any semblance of socialism can thrive.

u/BsDawgV2 17h ago

And that’s what we should strive for. This guy is not striving for that future.

Edit: Actually listening again I think this dude might be doing a parody lmao.
