I’m a broken record, but how can we educate the public on the wide chasm between Social Democracy (Norway) and actual Socialism (Cuba)? I’m increasingly irritated by the conflation. Democratic Socialists are, well, Socialists. There are zero successful countries they can point to, anywhere, ever.

It’s called Social Democracy. The Nordic countries have demonstrated it works. Also, PoliticsGirl, would you please run for office?

So do Dems. A lot of them on Bluesky this week referring to Social Democracy as Democratic Socialism. A social democracy preserves capitalism and adds on increased regulation, safety nets, healthcare, childcare, taxation of the rich, etc. Whereas socialism means a farmer no longer owns his farm.
