    Which branch is “true socialism” again? Noticing a definite lack of social democratic countries in that list.

      Nordic countries are not socialist just because they offer more of the spoils of plunder. In fact, the share of that is rabidly shrinking as they pivot to fascism faster and faster.

          Except they don’t work; they rely on exploiting the global South. And even then, they’re having all of those social policies rapidly repealed because they only existed to appease the population during the cold war.

          the welfare of these countries are literally crumbling dude

          More restrictions, less pay, more cutoffs of access like dentists becoming more expensive as a result. Yeah, sure works great.

          That’s what happens with “socialism” within the system of capitalism.
