Remember, the social Democrats sided with the Nazis over the socialists. They’ve done it every time they’ve been given the opportunity, and will continue to do so as many times as people fall for their shtick.

But that's not capitalism, that's market socialism

I thought regulated capitalism and market socialism were the same thing

the difference between capitalism and socialism is whether companies are privately or publicly owned, so while it looks similar, it's really not the same. this would be a social democratic society, and therefore not socialist

So European brands of socialism aren't socialism in your view?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

socialism, by definition, means that "companies" are publicly owned. so while this would be a good start for a socal democratic society, its nowhere near democratic socialism or even communism
