    You keep repeating “oh believe me”. You know why people like you say that? Do you know how liers also stress “I’m telling the truth”? Yeah, so… :)

    No-one was talking about “mixed economies”. Learn to read.

    that’s why the Nordic Countries are seeing steady rises in disparity and sliding of Worker protections,

    None of that is remotely true. The laws keep improving all the time. I honestly don’t understand the need of people like you to literally make up things to pretend like you understand a thing? Just don’t reply. If you write less, people won’t be able to see what a moron you are.

    these regulations are often bought and paid for by large Corporations to cement their power as Capitalists.

    What the fuck are you smoking? “Yeah capitalist companies actually enjoy good regulations”

    Social Democracy seeks to directly existing liberal Capitalist frameworks for the benefit of all, while maintaining existing power structures and hierarchies.

    Call an ambulance, you’re having a stroke. That is meaningless drivel that in no way argues against the fact that social democracy is SOCIALIST as established by Eatwell & Wright 1999, pp. 80–103; Newman 2005, p. 5; Heywood 2007, pp. 101, 134–136, 139; Ypi 2018; Watson 2019.

    no matter how much you cry and stomp your foot, you’re just a teenager equivocating, without any understanding of this. This shctick is getting old. It was entertaining for a while.

    You’ve not provided a single source. Because there aren’t any, becuse you’re a teenager who keeps pretending he undestands something

    you still have a business owner but the business is regulated, it’s still Capitalist!

    TLDR “if private property exists it’s not communism”

    Stomp your foot all you want kid. The truth doesn’t care.

    Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism

      I have been saying “oh believe me” because nothing you have stated is new to me, other than your lack of understanding of the difference between Socialism, Capitalism, and markets in general.

      Here’s a source on rising disparity: https://www.norden.org/en/news/increasing-income-inequality-nordics

      And another: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(23)00028-5/fulltext

      And yet another: https://academic.oup.com/book/39667/chapter-abstract/339652441?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false

      Happy?

      Yes, Capitalist companies tend to love regulations, because they protect monopoly power. An example is Disney with IP protections, they seek to maintain absolute control over their aging IP and have lobbied the government to keep their power entrenched. Another example is tax filing companies like H&R block making the tax process incredibly inefficient and difficult for the average American, just so they can sell more of their services.

      Please, elaborate on your Eatwell & Wright source. Why do they call Social Democracy Socialist if it is built on Capitalist frameworks, with individual business owners rather than the economy being owned and controlled by the workers?

      You cannot have individual owners of the Means of Production in a Socialist economy. Simple as.

      It’s also really funny that you say I’m having a stroke as you reenact the REDRUM scene from the shining, lmao. Get help.

        So you criticise Wikipedia as a source, and then when I keep asking you for sources for your arguments, you link three different articles about how income inequality is slightly higher in the recent years, and think it proves…? What? That your gibberish about political philosophy makes sense?

        I’m having a hard time breathing, my eyes are watering. I really suggest you learn to check a thing or two on Google before opening your mouth :DDDDD

        Yes, Capitalist companies tend to love regulations, because they protect monopoly power.

        “Companies like regulations”

        No, companies like laws which favour them. They don’t like “regulations”, they like PROFIT. ANYTHING that increases their profit is something they like. That’s the base of CAPITALISM, dipshit.

        Pease, elaborate on your Eatwell & Wright source

        It’s right there in the pages, you’re welcome to check it out yourself. Or, if you don’t feel like it, make an argument against it?

        You cannot have individual owners of the Means of Production in a Socialist economy. Simple as.

        Because you say so. When no-one agrees with your inane 70’s red scare logic.

        “wyaa wyaa if it’s not full blown communism it’s not socialism but if even one thing is traded between two people it’s capitalism”

        Go and read a dictionary, kiddo.

          It proves that disparity is rising in Capitalist Social Democracies, like I said. Simple.

          Companies like regulations that help them make profits, yes. No need to sling insults.

          I’m not paying to read a source that you refuse to actually reference in any meaningful capacity outside of an appeal to authority, when I already know what Marx, Engels, Lenin, Kropotkin, Bakunin, Luxembourg, and so forth are talking about when they speak of and define Socialism, not the revisionist Capitalism that is Social Democracy.

          Why is it “red-scare” logic when it’s written by Marx and all Marxists to come after him? That’s just Marxist logic!

          2 people can trade things and it need not be Capitalism, you can have 2 worker co-operatives trade commodities and it’s Market Socialism. Simple.

          No need to throw slurs at me, but it’s fitting for a right-winger to turn to those when they fail to use logic.

          Edit: Credit where credit is due, you did in fact change from using a slur to using a more tame insult once I called you out, so at least you’ve got that going for you.

            Man,

            You are amazing. I wouln’t have had the patience to have that conversation.

            Thank you for explaining people… well… Reality.

            Just a bit of an off topic point:

            I belive the use of “socialism” that the other comenter has is am apropiation or integration of socialisim into the kyriarchy. Defusing and making solcialism anti-revolutionary, taking away what it makes it dangerous and leaving a shell of it self.

            Socialism is not anymore the controll of the means of production by the workers (simplify definition) but capitalism where they controlling group give you a bit of assurance and you have to thank them for it.

              Thanks! I just take combating bourgeois nonsense seriously when I see it.

              You’re correct, by adopting good, common sense social safety nets as “socialism,” Socialism becomes defanged. “We already have Socialism, why do you want any more?” Can become a cry against the Proletariat.
