I’ve often noted my belief that out of all societal systems industrialized countries have tested so far, #Nordic #SocialDemocracy is, if not the best, then at least the least bad. Despite all its very real flaws and shortcomings. Here’s one BIG reason: Social #Democracy makes us free.

Just to be clear.

#DemocraticSocialism, is just #SocialDemocracy, is not anti #capitalist, or #socialist in any way.

‘We need a mass program of deshittification’: Avi Lewis on rebuilding Canada’s public services

In a wide-ranging interview with Christo Aivalis, NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis outlines his vision for Canada, advocating bold public ownership, stronger public services, and economic sovereignty. Drawing on his activist background and family legacy, he explains how a democratic socialist approach could reshape the economy and rebuild the party from the ground up.

#AlboPM is a confirmed political ‘tragic’, so much so that political outcomes have become his priorities which over the years have overwritten his laudable social ideals. IOW he has succumbed to the political machinery (not to say chicanery) his mother fought against IMO.

A lazy Bill Maher using capitalist talking points slamming Democratic Socialism was embarrassing.

Bill Maher is using his platform to promote billionaires’ Democratic Socialism fearing message because of Zohran Mamdani’s effective deconstruction of a failed economic system in digestible form.

The ‘Sewer #Socialism’ of #ZohranMamdani

Beyond the specifics, history teaches that #progressive mayors prosper when they understand why voters put them in office. Sheri Berman, a Barnard College political scientist and a widely respected scholar of #SocialDemocracy, offers a brisk two-part formula. “Successful left-wing mayors,” she told me, “focused on (a.) problems in their cities, and (b.) problems where they had the power to do something.”

For history buffs, Mr. #Mamdani has done the service of rekindling an interest in a largely forgotten American tradition, the “sewer socialists” who ran a significant list of cities in the last century. The most durable among them was Daniel Hoan, the #socialist mayor of Milwaukee from 1916 to 1940.
