Depends on how one defines "socialist"
> Some of us still perceive that as a bad thing.
Then what's wrong with you? Look at other first world countries.
All this "socialism bad" bullshit needs to stop. It has no basis in reality.

- api 1mo agoThat’s totalitarian communism. Parent is talking about social democracy with a larger safety net. I’m not aware of gulags in the Netherlands or Sweden but maybe I haven’t looked hard enough. I was just in here a while ago calling leftist class war stuff conspiracism BTW, so I’m equal opportunity. Just so much bullshit everywhere. We’d have a much better discourse if words meant things and if we could toss the hyperbole and the conspiracy theories from all sides.
- piker 1mo agoI agree, and I am also a centrist, but to say “socialism bad” has “no basis in reality” is wrong.
