Read a book. Social democracy is a reformation of capitalism, not socialism. It is literally a process that starts with a capitalist country. No country has ever started with socialism and then reverted to social democracy. It is a stage of capitalism making concessions to the working class.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Hong Kong is MORE Free Under Chinese Control
43·7 days agoWesterners really got brainwashed into thinking Hong Kong has to be saved from China. Even “progressives” lol.
Let me know when they start burning shit down. The only effective protest we’ve seen in our lifetimes was during the George Floyd/BLM movement. Police stations were burned down and everybody was fine.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•What do you think of Platner and will he bring new life into the democratic party or be a second Fetterman?
65·7 days agoSeems like a pretty easy option to not support the guy who went on 4 tours in the Middle East killing brown people and getting Nazi tattoos. Good luck liberals 🤣

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•'A March About Nothing!' on-the-Ground at No Kings Harlem Rally [28:16 | OCT 21 2025 | Due Dissidence]
5·7 days agoAmericans genuinely do not understand what protesting is. They’ve been brainwashed truly. This protest has changed nothing. Start DISRUPTING the system, not do planned parades coordinated with the police.
If your protest movement was created by wealthy Zionists then it’s not a real protest.

World News@lemmy.world•University defends new Kazakhstan campus amid human rights concernsEnglish
4·21 days agoIf universities get to exist in the Western world, i dont see why Kazakhstan can’t have one. Westerners have a swath of human rights concerns for themselves. They’ve aided and abetted the biggest genocide of our lifetimes…

World News@lemmy.world•Vietnamese dissident gets 11 more years for criticizing Communist Party in prisonEnglish
16·28 days agoOppressing capitalists is morally just, and necessary. I will always choose to live under the authority of the working class, than authority of greedy pigs. You choose the latter, which is pathetic.

825·28 days agoGood, capitalists need to be locked away if they’re gonna sabotage the will of the people. Take notes America.


Deflection. Regardless of your definition, none of the countries you listed or any other country considered socialist has ever reverted to social democracy. Again, it is a phase capitalism where concessions are given to the working class. Only capitalist countries attempt it.
