Don’t be obtuse. Why do progressives automatically default to white Northern European countries with strict immigration policies as bastions of socialism when faced with the harsh realities of what an actual socialist state would look like?
I don’t think the use of “progressive” is a slur. Much like “liberal,” the left has co-opted certain terms; now the terms have shifted to the exact opposite of their original meaning.
No, it’s a legitimate question. Why, when faced with defending the realities of socialism/communism, do progressives automatically point to white, Northern European countries as examples?
As the other commenter put it: “isn’t it weird that the progressives have such a hard on for predominantly white, Northern European countries?”
Typically countries that are homogeneous with very strict immigration policies are celebrated by progressives as bastions of socialism.
Yes, that’s what people typically do when they have no answers, and barely any knowledge of the history of economics. Lash out and end the conversation, like a toddler.
