Bernie’s a Type 2 Social Dem

2019-02-20 22:20:32 UTC  

That's all we ever wanted

2019-02-20 22:20:41 UTC  

Either he supports socialism or he isn't a social democrat

2019-02-20 22:20:48 UTC  

That’s not true

2019-02-20 22:21:00 UTC  

Type 2 social democrats support a mix of socialist and capitalist policies

2019-02-20 22:21:01 UTC  

Bernie is a Social Democrat when we are using Wikipedia's defination

2019-02-20 22:21:08 UTC  

nordic model = An elaborate social safety net, in addition to public services such as free education and universal healthcare[10] in a largely tax-funded system.[11]=socialism

2019-02-20 22:21:23 UTC  

Nordic Model is not socialism

2019-02-20 22:21:29 UTC  

Nordic countries are not socialist

2019-02-20 22:21:42 UTC  

Capitalist economy with socialist public services

2019-02-20 22:21:55 UTC

2019-02-20 22:22:22 UTC

see

2019-02-20 22:22:36 UTC  

"the old definition"

2019-02-20 22:22:38 UTC  

Two definitions

2019-02-20 22:22:39 UTC  

Before modern times, Social Democracy was that

2019-02-20 22:22:46 UTC  

Old was basically democratic socialism

2019-02-20 22:22:51 UTC  

Modern Social Democracy is the Nordic Model

2019-02-20 22:22:52 UTC  

New is leftist capitalism

You're just stealing the labels of other people's ideologies and passing it off as your own

2019-02-20 22:23:26 UTC  

Look, we’re just arguing over definitions instead of politics. It’s clear that there are multiple uses of the term “social democracy.”

2019-02-20 22:23:29 UTC  

So the Nordic countries are in a way socialist then?

2019-02-20 22:23:37 UTC  

yes

2019-02-20 22:23:43 UTC  

They have socialist public services like education. No one denies that.

2019-02-20 22:23:50 UTC  

But they also have capitalist market economies.

2019-02-20 22:23:51 UTC  

and healthcare

2019-02-20 22:23:53 UTC  

Yep

2019-02-20 22:24:04 UTC  

no one said they didn't have market economies

2019-02-20 22:24:43 UTC  

They have capitalism market economies

The meaning of Socialism by google is: "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

2019-02-20 22:24:48 UTC  

it'll slowly faze out and slowly become full blown socialism. all I'm saying is that these "tiny steps toward socialism" are a dangerous and slippery slope to full blown socialism.

2019-02-20 22:25:12 UTC  

New Social Democracy isn’t supposed to lead to socialism.

2019-02-20 22:25:15 UTC  

Wikipedia's definition is: "Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management,"

2019-02-20 22:25:17 UTC  

>owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
So regulation **is** socialism

2019-02-20 22:25:18 UTC  

It’s supposed to be a system in itself.

2019-02-20 22:25:38 UTC  

I’m gonna call it OSD and NSD
