hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months agoI think less than 193 tbh… In Latvia, a Social Democrat party has proposed surveillance cameras and pigs in schools. I’m pretty sure in other countries there has been talk as well

Man, social democrats sure do like building police states…

Here, it’s the opposite. The social democrats and their allies were in government for a long time and the second the more conservatives (still pretty left compared to the USA though) got power they proposed a fuck ton of laws including visitation zones where they can search people without suspect. That law actually goes into effect very soon.

Which one?

Wat
TimeNaan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Exactly that. They use police to protect capital’s interests just like the other countries. So they need to expand police powers. Just look at Weimar Germany for historical examples.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months ago
We’re talking about modern day social democrats and you bring up Weimar Germany. There’s a lot more recent examples of social democrats in power lol.

Like the socialist Nazi party throwing a world war with a side of genocide.
TimeNaan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Except that was not socialist at all except for the name.

Exactly what I was driving at.

I don’t think a modern day Nazi would highlight the socialist part or talk about starting world war and genocide

Or you found the person using the example of the Nazi party being socialists in name only to highlight the ridiculousness of the comment I replied to.
