Economically it's not that right wing here

The state owns alot of companies

the point is that they utilize the free market

socdems are what define left-wing in the Western world so by definition their stance on economics is broadly considered left-wing

The state has several monopolies

@lemion companies that do social services

Like post

And telecoms

monopolies still participate in market economy

@uhm @ÜltraÜberGöttKönig bring me citations that support your position

When someone says left wing, people immediately think full-on socialism and it doesn't have to be like that, when considering domestic economics, Scandi countries are left-leaning

Alcohol sale aswell is monopolizes by the state

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
