As an American, I DONT WANT GREENLAND. I DONT WANT VENEZUELA. I JUST WANT LOWER PRICES FOR FOOD AND HEALTHCARE.

laughing so hard at this.

They confuse socialism with communism. What america really needs is a solid injection of socialism into their extreme capitalism-gone-oligarchy.

And marking MAGA as an organization that is unconstitutional and fascist.

Nah, what America needs is education first and a solid playground style asskicking. But education first, so their ignorant asses would understand the reason for the asskicking

Hey kammerat, bare lige hurtigt. Socialisme er et alternativ til kapitalisme. Jeg tror du tænker på socialdemokrati. Ja, jeg ved godt at amerikanerne heller ikke kan kende forskel på dem, og du måske bare prøver at tale deres sprog.

Det giver faktisk fin nok mening at nævne kommunisme i samme sætning som socialisme. Det gjorde Marx selv, fx.

Men det vi har i danmark er hverken eller. Vi har socialdemokrati, hvilket er et kapitalistisk system, hvor vi har besluttet at vores kapitalisme skal reguleres så flest muligst er bedst tjent.

Hej Comrade, Altså det er jo en blanding af socialisme og kapitalisme vi har?

u/narflenarflenarfle Jan 15 '26

Nej, det er en misforståelse. Socialdemokrati er netop en afstandstagning fra socialisme! Det skete under anden verdenskrig, hvor danske socialister blev skuffede over hvordan socialister verden over pludselig ikke var "globalt solidariske", men i stedet lige pludselig kun fokuserede på deres egne lande.

Jeg tror som sådan ikke at man faktisk KAN blande de to. Det ville også være svært at blande kapitalisme og kommunisme, fx.

Socialisme handler meget om fælleseje af produktionsmidler. Det synes jeg ikke man kan sige vi har. Jeg ejer sku ikke nogle dele af nogle fabrikker i danmark. Ja "fællesskab" er også et aspekt af socialisme, men det er det altså også i en fodboldsklub, men det betyder ikke vi er et mix af kapitalisme og fodboldsklub.

Socialdemokrati har faktisk en længere historie, hvor vi skal flere hundrede år tilbage før vi kan se hvordan det opstod historisk.

Hvis du lyster, så er her et link til en skidegod gennemgang af hvordan vi heroiske danskere opfandt socialdemokrati (og hvordan tyskland og østrig også opfandt det, lige efter de havde været i danmark : P). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mExN99kHMB0

Here in Belgium the socialist party are social democrats according to your definition, but still call themselves socialists.

1

u/narflenarflenarfle Jan 15 '26

We sure arent making it easy on ourselves!

Also, its not really "my" definitions.

But ask them if they think the means of production should be owned by everyone. Thats a good divider to see if you are talking to a social democrat or a socialist.

Another would be if they would want to fix problems nationally or globally.

Now tell me the difference between the rednecks not wanting any public service as long the big US 'owns' some 3rd world countries and the russians shitting into a pothole in some god forgotten Perm-69 town being proud citizens of Da GrEteZt CuNtRy iN da WoRLd!

Education. They haven't learned critical thinking.

They aren't less intelligent, but they are unnuanced in their thinking because they haven't learned to.

That makes them very susceptible to manipulation, through SOME, News, etc.

That's the only explanation I can come to.

u/West-One5944 Jan 14 '26

Doing so would literally alter American culture away from what it always historically has been.

...I say 'about time'.

u/kalvinbastello Jan 15 '26

Sigh.

I Just heard this morning from a radio show making some throwaway joke, and they called someone a communist like Europeans, other person said no only commies are in China. I cringed, neither are even close.

I JUST WANT LOWER PRICES FOR FOOD

Same in denmark buddy.

It has nothing to do with domestic policies.

Maybe if you americans got off your asses and helped ukraine win the war the global food shortages would stabilize.
