WTF is democratic socialism

Is it like the Nordic Model (free market capitalism + a large welfare system) or is it actual socialism with a nicer name, in other words s*** sprayed with air freshener

The Nordic Model (or Western European model really in many ways) which I support is social democracy. Capitalism with strong welfare systems and safety nets, and relatively low inequality. The DSA is socialism. They also seem to have an unhealthy fetish for Jacobinsim and Marxist/early Soviet era ideals.


"Socialist Party is Marxist!", but anyway, social-democracy treats the symptoms of capitalism, but not the disease itself.

You should read this arcticle, to better understand the socialist perspective: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/06/the-difference-between-liberalism-and-leftism

Liberals believe that the economic and political system is a machine that has broken down and needs fixing. Leftists believe that the machine is not “broken.” Rather, it is working perfectly well; the problem is that it is a death machine designed to chew up human lives. You don’t fix the death machine, you smash it to bits.

lol


One day three women were protesting the Vietnam War on a snowy day outside the White House. The three women did discuss if what they were doing was futile and basically looked silly. What they did was be noticed by Dr. Spock as he had a White House luncheon engagement that day. He asked himself why three mature women would protest under those conditions. It started him thinking. After reflection and study, he with all his notoriety became an outspoken and extremely influential opponent of that war.

So a 25,000 membership in the DSA may seem insignificant relative to the 62,990,000 that voted Democratic and 62,980,000 that voted Republican in the last presidential election, but it may be just the start that is needed.

http://www.salon.com/2017/08/05/the-democratic-socialists-of-america-hit-25000-members-heres-why-this-is-a-big-deal/


This weekend, 697 delegates from 49 states are congregating in Chicago for the largest-ever convention of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Socialism is having a moment. Bernie Sanders, a self-described “democratic socialist,” nearly snagged the Democratic Party nomination last year and is the country’s most popular active politician; socialist Jeremy Corbyn came close to controlling the British government; and young people identify with the ideology at record rates. There is a new and unbridled optimism about socialism’s potential.

In the last year alone, DSA’s membership has ballooned from 8,000 to 25,000 dues-paying members. DSA boasts that it is now the biggest socialist organization in America since World War II.


A better world is possible, comrades.

There is only one requirement for a country to be considered socialist. Just one. Are the means of production democratically owned? No? Then it's not socialism. Yes? Then it is socialism. I know this is hard for liberals like you to understand, but really?


look. This is the definition of Socialism as per google.

a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.


So lets pick this apart for a moment.

1. Government regulations on business and ownership of production are not socialist, according to this, as that's not the community.
2. Literally nothing is regulated in Venezuela right now the whole fucking place is in famine and chaos.
3. Exchange is right out given that a tiny amount of people control 99% of the country's money.

Ergo, Venezuela is not socialist.

Are we done here?


Works for me. Every single time this comes up it should be emphasized that the state does not equal the community, especially if the state is not democratic.

You're trailing off.

No they were moved following multiple violent attempts by communists whose aim was to establish a soviet style communist nation. the Spartacist Uprising in 1919, the Bavarian Soviet Republic also in 1919m and the Rhur Uprising in 1920. Communists were so willing to shoot anyone who didn't align with them that it generated a backlash from the right, such as the Kapp Putsch. They wanted the madness to end, a madness that your stupid ideology that you are now defending played an enormous part in making.

btw, article 48 was passed in 1930. The one that gave the power to make laws without the approval of the Reichstag. Hitler was elected in 1933.
pick up a fucking history book sometime


lol literally defending Nazis because "communists would have been worse"

btw, the enabling act was passed in 1933, two months after Hitler was elected. That's the one that not only gave the executive power to completely ignore the reichstag whenever but also allowed it to create laws that deviated from the constitution. Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution was simply granting the executive the ability to issue what in the US is known as "Executive Orders", which additionally could only be done in times of emergency. pick up a fucking history book sometime

Right, words, written or spoken, have never had any meaningful impact or influenced those that heard/read them:

Godwin's Law has been invoked already? Really now?

To say Adolf Hitler succeeded in committing genocide thanks to hate speech being allowed is fucking nonsense and you should be ashamed for suggesting it. For centuries it was the stance of the Catholic church that Jews were each individually responsible for the murder of Christ. The Vatican not only preached hatred but condoned acts of violence against Jewish communities. Dissent against this belief was deemed "offensive", and a slight on Jessus himself.

Do you understand? The Vatican, much like Antifa, had for centuries cracked down on any speech that offended their dogma. And the result of this crackdown on "hate speech" was Nazi Germany. It wasn't until after WWII that the Vatican admitted that maybe they were wrong.

If they had allowed free speech to flourish and not subdued the people who stood up for the Jews, the final solution may never have happened.

If hate speech laws existed back then, Mein Kampf would have never been published and Hitler would have been promptly arrested with his movement dissassembled. No WW2, no Holocaust, no Cold War.
