    “I’ve seen with my own eyes social democracy failing simultaneously everywhere in Europe and ruined millions of lives. However, I still support it”.

      No, I have not seen social democracy failing, I have seen politicians failing to uphold social democracy.

        That’s the problem: they only need to buy your politicians with many Swedish kronas.

        Do you believe a so fragile system is right?

          I never said that I believe social democracy is a strong political system, I said that I believe it is the best ideology, meaning that I believe we should keep working to persue it, societies will move to far right, and too far left, regardless, it is a goal we should keep working towards.

          I see it as kinda like a compass, regardless of how you turn it, the arrow always point to the magnetic north.

          Regardless of what happens to society, we should always have an idea of our goal.

        Politicians in every European country’s socialdemocrat party have failed social democracy, seems to me like there’s something in common, maybe the system fucking sucks? And when a new leftist party rises to fight against that, it gets destroyed institutionally, either through removal of government agency by EU (Syriza in Greece), by refusal to place them in government despite majority (LFI in France), or outright fabrications of false funding from Venezuela by the police apparatus (Podemos in Spain)
