    It’s another episode of Socialism is when the government does stuff

    It’s another episode of confusing social democratic with democratic socialist

    It’s another episode of Americans doing Great Man Theory of history harder than any “authoritarian tankie” ever could

    Let me not spend an hour writing an effort posts on all the other critiques I could make of this image, such as the failure to understand that anti-trust just fetishizes competition between small producers and intends to reintroduce an earlier stage of capitalism rather than simply nationalizing the monopolies, or how FDR used social democracy to save Capitalism from collapsing and postpone revolutionary conditions by decades, or how Dwight Eisenhower felt about Cuba and DPRK, or how Lyndon “Forgorn Leghorn” Johnson said this or how Bernie bent the knee to Genocide Joe… I’m barely scratching the surface here.

    Social Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. And I don’t care if Stalin retracted that quote. He was being polite.
