    The fuck is safety capitalism? Is it just some bullshit word for people who don’t want to say socialism? Fuck, if that’s what it takes for people to accept socialism then they can call it whatever the fuck they want.

      Social democracy isn’t sexy enough of a word I suppose. It would be capitalism but with a safety net

          Out of all countries, social democratic Nordic countries are probably doing the best. Pretty good going imo.

            also looking at those countries we can see it isn’t a permanent fix though. Capitalists don’t stop fighting and will be successful in the long run

              I mean that’s going to be the same for every country and every solution.

              I’m not saying the work is done or that Nordic countries are anywhere near perfect or anything. Just that considering how others are doing, social democracy at least in the Nordic countries has done really well imo.

              Very little? None of them have been big colonial countries (Denmark was the biggest and they were a pretty small player) and Finland was itself a colonized country.
