    There doesn’t seem to be any place on Reddit for us boring normal social democrats.

    I mean, a lot of us are in the neoliberal sub.

      Look we just want high wages, strong regulation, and redistribution of wealth, but without any of the levers of power necessary to achieve it. Is that so much to ask?

        You see, social democracy came about because smarter heads in the the working class just kindly asked and voted the bougies to give them a bigger slice of the pie. It had nothing to do with those radical tankies, or the gigantic bear in the room in Moscow scaring the shit out of the said bougies. Bernie Sanders was able to coast his way into office and get shit done without being ratfucked whatsoever!

        In seriousness, it’s just darkly hilarious to me that we’ve come full circle on a century’s worth of concessions being rolled back, and the supposed “socialists” in the West are somehow more up their own asses than the old Social Democratic parties, who at least understood some class analysis.
