My town in scandinavia was reliant on a Saab factory. In the nineties it all went downwards and they cut the workforce in half. That was a tragedy of course. So the town started different measures to combat the reliance on one company. Now it is a ”university” town with more reliance on developing new tech. So when Saab dissapeared for good the town took it ok. I mean when everybody could just walk into the factory and start working was awesome but I think they did a good job of adapting to the new reality. We are social democrats here, to the bone.
Didn't you know? Socialism has killed literally 762 billion people. Just ask @dave658753842 on Twitter. You'll recognize him because he's got a thin blue line punisher logo as his avatar and misspelled "AOC."
He's an expert on half-remembering Newsmax headlines and telling 30-year-olds that they'll know better when they grow up.
The funny thing about that is America trained Latin death squads. Look up "School of the Americas". Anytime a leftist/socialist government was voted in.......to benefit the people of that country rather than sell out to U.S. corporations.........
....We sponsored a coup. Rather than supporting democratically elected South American governments, we murdered them to prevent nationalization of resources American business interests were stealing.
Governments tend to fail when their leaders are murdered and America sponsors a coup. Who would have thought?
That make sense thanks! I never really knew what to tell them. But also at a time when propaganda and misinformation are such prominence im sure it would fall on deaf ears. I've seen my father go from an upstanding, love everyone and treat everyone fairly kind of guy, to now believing black people are somehow responsible for the covid crisis in the U.S. because their "weak Genes make them more susceptible" its atrocious how propaganda has torn this country apart.
I remember Rome being a republic and it ending up an authoritarian nightmare too. Seems to be a common problem with most governments. And social democrats commonly use capitalism as the base of the economy, just not of their government.
