    It’s a meaningless word that liberals and anti-communists use to try and down-punch and discredit us.

    I believe Norway still has a lot of good systems to take care of its citizens.

    Sure, I’m not saying welfare programs are bad, but the system is still Capitalist. We’re already seeing policies being rolled back as the pendulum swings. Norway is able to afford its citizens these luxuries because of its historical exploitation and wealth. That, and because of the proximity to the Soviet Union; they feared uprising similar to what was going on there, so concessions were made. It’s always concessions.

    Anybody who uses the term “tankie” can safely be ignored and blocked.

    but social democracy has been a good way of keeping capitalism in-check in Norway

    Even though some of these concessions have been rolled back? Also, Norway, etc were able to offer these concessions by exploiting other countries.

    What I am interested in learning is how society would operate and function under socialism / communism. More about the differences. Preferably from less dry sources than The Capital from Marx. Where can I learn more? Preferably a bit entertaining.

    A podcast called Actually Existing Socialism is really good!
