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 …

Most of the people spouting the "bend the knee" and other faux-revolutionary talk don't even want actual socialist revolution. Especially the boatshoe brigade and the podcast millionaires, who'd actually have something to lose.

Talking a big game about revolution is easier than actually dealing with the facts of what it would take and what actual impact it would have on the people talking about it.

People think Norway is a stepping stone to socialism? Jfc, we share a border with Russia! Half our WW2-resistance fighters were later tried for treason because they wanted us free from the germans so that we could join the fucking Soviet! WE HAPPY WITH SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, THANKS.

What they did do was prosecute the bank managers involved in the GFC. Which is probably what scares the ultra capitalist mob, they want their playground as is, no risk of any *real* repercussions for their exploitative shenanigans.

To me the argument is that establishing a socialist or eventually communist society can only be done with majority consent. My country had 40 years of communist party rule: it was not with consent, nor communist. the goal is to reorganise production and ensure ppls basic needs.

It is trauma conditioning. For most Americans the word socialism was paired with the Cold War, and the threat of nuclear war, if not directly it's passed down. A fear of annihilation was paired with that word. Now we have to do the work to extract it from this traumatic emotion
