Social Democracy is welfare capitalism and reformism, both bourgeoise liberal solutions to the problem. If you are a Social Democrat you are not a Socialist, you are the left-wing of capital but you are still a capitalist, you are still a liberal. Welfare capitalism will never ever be socialism. Socialism is NOT when the government does stuff and Socialism is NOT nationalization, regulation, high taxation etc in itself.
For those of you who are slightly less retarded than the non-ironic succdems here, please stop shilling for people like Sanders, Corbyn, Melenchon and so on
The overton window has already been shifted far enough to the Left. Half of fucking America is at the least succdem now and those who were already succdem when Sanders was running are either full blown tankies or anarkiddies. So please fuck off with the entryism argument because
1: Entryism has never once worked
2: Sanders and Melenchon literally capitulated almost immediately after losing their respective primaries and tried to talk their supporters into voting for neoliberals, imagine how many compromises and neutered versions of their proposals they would make if they were actually in office
3. You can argue either of the above points but you literally can not argue that if you are really Leftist you are for the full abolition of wage labor, so shut the fuck up about any of these people being /ourguy/ etc
Those of you who still support these succdems unironically and don't ruthlessly criticize them and are still optimistic about the prospects for reformism and gradualism in the West need to either leave the board, perhaps for a website which tolerates your liberalism more such as reddit, or actually fucking read Marx and Engels who hated succdems and took every chance to distance themselves from them and shit on them at every single occasion.
