      I guess we have to go through this again, but "Nordic-style social democracy" is not socialism, it's capitalism The Nordic countries are not socialist, they are capitalist They have landlords, they have investors, they have a stock market, they have big bankshttps://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1231019619198132224 …

      "No but she admitted she's working with Bloomberg and against Bernie. She said she was a capitalist." I got news for you: Bernie's revolution isn't going to seize the means of production, either.

      People talk like social democracy is "midway between" capitalism and actual socialism or communism and that if we got a "Nordic-style" welfare state we'd be "on the way" to socialism but this is honestly questionable

      The Nordic model has existed for a while now and private business owners and landlords remain quite numerous and show few signs of fear that they will be imminently rounded up and guillotined

          You have stuff like 30% of the Norwegian workforce being public sector employees, which is a lot - roughly double the 14% in the United States - but not the night and day difference you would expect even from a country "on the way" to abolishing private ownership entirely

          It just seems so pointless to have this fight Bernie Sanders' proposed policies objectively *are not* socialist, they're FDR-style "saving capitalism from itself" measures, which is openly the goal of Nordic governments (to stabilize the existing market economy, not overturn it)

          We can argue about whether they would be an improvement over the status quo - which I agree they would - without talking like they're a stepping stone to a new October Revolution, which seems ridiculously unlikely and which most regular voters don't actually want
