Hardly a social service

But traditionally the state must own a good amount form bussines it started or are of national interest

And they own the power grid and all natural resources

@rogalik look at norway, monopoly on alcohol, why? To control the alcoholism

@lemion it's normal for the state to own the powergrid

Tru

It can liberalize the distribution

@ÜltraÜberGöttKönig where does that say socdem economics are explicitly considered "right-wing"?

State has a monopoly on water and electricity delivery in most countries as well, it doesn't make them socialists

@Cielodiluna di Bisanzio the reason they do that is out of socialist motives

Is it a left-leaning policy? Yes. Does that mean the country is socialist? No

any proper source you'll look into will classify socdem economics as either centre(Blairite Third Way) or centre-left(classical socdem, Nordic model)

Because if they liberalize there is a chance that a toxic monopoly can take place and some people won't have access

A country doesn't have to be full-on socialist to be considered left-leaning

you just don't understand how these classifications are made

socdem as a whole is center that is correct but the free trade aspect is right wing

as I confirmed with the soruce

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! T. COMMIE

free trade = right
socdem uses free trade

Also the 100% tax on petrol cars

monarchy = right
republic = left

ez

And 0% tax on electric cars

Based

@lemion lmao

i really hate the right left spectrum

in current year

Yeah

Socdem does not use completely free trade, it enforces a lot of regulations and taxes on businesses

Tesla is considered a cheap car here

Because of the taxation

Not everything is black and white guys

its classified based on the degree of economic liberalisation and what socdem does there is broadly considered centre-left

@rogalik swedish and Norway have liberal economies

that socdem works with a free market is just an aspect of the story you need to weigh in all the things, there are high taxes, welfare, regulations, public ownership and a lots of other things

@uhm not compared to the US

we have been saying that for half an hour now

or Australia or even the UK for that matter

>that socdem works with a free market is just an aspect of the story you need to weigh in all the things, there are high taxes, welfare, regulations, public ownership and a lots of other things
thats exaclty what I said several times
