It gets better. Supporting NATO because you’re against imperialism. You truly are the progressivest.

The NATO supporting anti-capitalist. Meh. You’re a lost cause. I’m quite alright. I have better things to do than speak with a future fascist.

Do you mean Social Democracy countries? Because Democratic Socialism is a political party or persuasion, not a political system in its own right. What country is exclusively Democratic Socialist?
A political party or persuasion? Which is it? It seems you don’t exactly have a clear idea on what it is. It is absolutely an ideology. Though it would like socialism, it prioritizes compromising with capitalism, much like social democracy. Is it really even worth trying to distinguish between the two?
But keep blaming the Nordic model for the crimes of the US, I’m sure that strategy will convince somebody, just not me.
The majority of Nordic countries are part of NATO. It’s a nasty terrorist organization.
Oh and by the way, do you want to mention the millions of deaths under Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot? Since apparently you’re juxtaposing “true” leftism against all the inferior or “untrue” leftisms as some sort of harbinger of moral superiority and respect for human lives?
You pretend to be progressive, but fail to see true progressivism. I’m guessing you’re talking deaths due to famine, which were the majority of the deaths under those leaders, but conditions improved due to those leaders, and the people of course. Socialism is all about the collective. The role of the dictator of the proletariat is to keep the capitalists from returning to power, not oppress the people. You claim to not be a liberal, but you’re sure coming off as one, rude like one as well. Millions die due to capitalism every year. I’m not sure why you’re not bringing that up as well. Also, do note that you’re now defending capitalism. Not a real progressive thing to do.

You’re quite rude. It would do liberals a lot of good to read some theory. They’d understand what the “tankies” are talking about rather than dismissing them as lunatics.
The best of the Democratic Socialist countries are still ran by child murdering shitbags. They’re probably gearing up to bomb schools alongside the US.

Democratic Socialism has no ethical end game. It’s a compromise with the ruling class remaining the ruling class. It’s a slightly lesser evil, but still evil. It’s just another liberal hangout.

Socialists do not support any form of capitalism…

Requesting time off is just a formality. There’s no harassment for using sick leave. Around 3% raises every year, usually, it’s negotiated. We still have a pension with rule of 85. Stand by pay while on call. Full wages paid while serving on jury duty. Some rarer benefits would be around $2k paid towards hearing aids and lasik.
The ability to leave work at work is priceless. There’s a line drawn in the sand and it’s respected.
We’ve had some employees paid to retire early, but I’m unaware of any layoffs throughout the history of the company.
It’s pretty wonderful. It’s the way everyone should be treated regardless of where they’re employed. Or unemployed. The profits over people bullshit has gotten outta hand.

<3 Co-ops. I’m a union member at a co-op. It’s as good as it gets for a working class person in the US. Seeing the light was the beginning of my radicalization. Add a little theory and the great awakening was complete. 🫡
