The Democratic People's Republic™ of Tankiejerk

Tenkte du måtte være en yankee fordi det stort sett er dem jeg ser som kaller oss sosialistisk :P

Social democracy is unfortunately decaying worldwide. It has managed very well and has created good working and living conditions in many countries (often by simply exporting hard work to third world countries, so it's not as good as it seems on the surface) , but now we see a slow and steady increase in wealth inequality. We see more rich people in socially democratic parties and we see them privatize much more as you mention. It's not just happening here, but everywhere.

I think it ultimately is because the socdem countries must still deal with the rest of the global economy and the influence from foreign companies. The spread of misinformation and propaganda from capitalist hellholes doesn't help either and undermines peoples faith in public services and unions. Additionally the incentives from a capitalist economy are simply not compatible with democracy in the long run, and so socially democratic parties are doomed to drift right as grifters, rich people, centrists, and others enter the party. Political parties I think will always become worse with time.
