@fencoul @westtexasjesus I'm not smoking anything. Whilst life is undeniably better for citizens living in a Social Democracy vs what the UK/US has, it just moves the problem where it's more palatable to the citizens benefiting from it, rather than fixing the failings inherent to Capitalism as a system. This is also why those hard won rights erode over time through austerity politics. http://tidewaterdsa.com/concealed-imperialism-the-true-face-of-social-democracy/
