It gets better. Supporting NATO because you’re against imperialism. You truly are the progressivest.

The NATO supporting anti-capitalist. Meh. You’re a lost cause. I’m quite alright. I have better things to do than speak with a future fascist.

Do you mean Social Democracy countries? Because Democratic Socialism is a political party or persuasion, not a political system in its own right. What country is exclusively Democratic Socialist?

A political party or persuasion? Which is it? It seems you don’t exactly have a clear idea on what it is. It is absolutely an ideology. Though it would like socialism, it prioritizes compromising with capitalism, much like social democracy. Is it really even worth trying to distinguish between the two?

But keep blaming the Nordic model for the crimes of the US, I’m sure that strategy will convince somebody, just not me.

The majority of Nordic countries are part of NATO. It’s a nasty terrorist organization.

Oh and by the way, do you want to mention the millions of deaths under Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot? Since apparently you’re juxtaposing “true” leftism against all the inferior or “untrue” leftisms as some sort of harbinger of moral superiority and respect for human lives?

You pretend to be progressive, but fail to see true progressivism. I’m guessing you’re talking deaths due to famine, which were the majority of the deaths under those leaders, but conditions improved due to those leaders, and the people of course. Socialism is all about the collective. The role of the dictator of the proletariat is to keep the capitalists from returning to power, not oppress the people. You claim to not be a liberal, but you’re sure coming off as one, rude like one as well. Millions die due to capitalism every year. I’m not sure why you’re not bringing that up as well. Also, do note that you’re now defending capitalism. Not a real progressive thing to do.

You’re quite rude. It would do liberals a lot of good to read some theory. They’d understand what the “tankies” are talking about rather than dismissing them as lunatics.

The best of the Democratic Socialist countries are still ran by child murdering shitbags. They’re probably gearing up to bomb schools alongside the US.

Democratic Socialism has no ethical end game. It’s a compromise with the ruling class remaining the ruling class. It’s a slightly lesser evil, but still evil. It’s just another liberal hangout.

Socialists do not support any form of capitalism…

Yup, a liberal.

Some easy reading will open your eyes to what’s going on around you. A book that’s often recommended is Black Shirts and Reds by Michael Parenti. Some of the views regarding China are pretty outdated, and even he fell for some of the western propaganda, but it gives you a much clearer picture of what actually goes on in the world in regards to western imperialism.

Inequality is a feature of Capitalism. It certainly doesn’t have to be this way. The ruling class wants us divided.

You’re witnessing capitalism run it’s course. There will never be a such thing as harmless capitalism. Capitalism cannot exist without exploitation. The ruling class has perfected slavery via consumerism. You don’t live in a free society, and it’s going to get worse.

When has the US been post war? Edit: I understand what you’re sayimg now. And you’re looking for ethical capitalism, which is a weird thing to say. In other words, ethical-exploitation. Doesn’t seem like a real thing, yeah?

The only reason FDR caved as much as he did is because the US had a strong communist presence. They’ve fixed that. Your longing for the past is akin to conservatism, no?

It’s better for the locals, I suppose. Back to slowly boiling the working class, but equally terrible for the rest of the world. Especially the global south.

Which Democrats do not support capitalism? There’s no such thing as a capitalism supporting left wing. Bernie is probably the closest thing, though not a Democrat, and even he is pro-capitalism.

The status quo will get the job done. Do the same and hope for a different result. Best of luck.

Educating yourself on the atrocities commited by both the Democrats and Republicans would have you not so excited about a “blue wave.” They’re just the other right wingers.

You will not be saved by a ruling class bootlicker.

Sub in the other capitalists. That’ll fix it.
