   I think that one of the best arguments against Nordic style social-democracy is that is doesn't actually eliminate capitalist exploitation because it doesn't eliminate the relationship between capital and labor that spawns capitalist exploitation, that being the private ownership of the means of production and the extraction of surplus value from workers.

     @Radical_EgoCom The biggest problem with capitalism is the extraordinary psychological violence it promotes in valuing efficiency over humanity: capital could give a flying fuck at a rolling donut,whether it’s bread is buttered by a chef or a machine. Too much existential humiliation of this sort is a death penalty for the collective soul…in some ways I know you’re saying the same thing
