Reply To: The Myth of Nordic 'Socialism'
Post note to comment:
Have you noticed that any failure of a socialist agenda is prefaced by looking or using naturally occurring data that is created by capital/totalitarian based states/policies that purport to ‘testing’ the socialist mode- then draw on their theoretical analyses from rational economics- deeming doomed
Neo liberal policy says the best form of welfare is a job- and the best jobs the market provides are welfare jobs… wage slave positions, and ones that suspend democracy while at work. But for the networked, the CEO and the ruling indolent, they enjoy the economic entitlement we are discouraged from even questioning; even desiring- or we are considered welfare dependent!
It seems nations ‘test a prosocial model’- see it fail- and then say: “see it has failed” and then continue with defending their position (yet opposed by their counterpart) to continue with their ideas, for their ideas are what most people know and are familiar with.
They say it will fail- but it was never put to proper practice- Do you trust a capitalist to implement a socialist premise? They see no profit nor any very personal gain. They might say there is no profit in being social, and all are individuals. And then before we know it- market forms of welfare are created to ‘manage the poor’.
The problem is, if they assess it, they will draw their own summations, conclusions, and so on- their narrative is business as usual, Under New Management, and so on.
What a problem- this problem surfaces in the global, national and local discourse.
And in so many ‘brands’ of socialism- this issue can take many different forms of signification, it becomes difficult to see the wood for the trees- but the capital vociferation hammers the same consistent message: Capital over labour, ruling over the ruled… me over you or mine over yours.
Just a vent, but seeking purpose in it,
