What do people here think of the Stalinist concept that social democracy is 'social fascism'?

    I think leftists need to stop overreaching in their efforts to connect things.

    Social Democracy is an economic model and series of methods for changing wealth distribution. Where that wealth comes from really doesn't matter to what social Democracy is. The foreign policy carried out by the government or movement has no bearing on wether it's a Social Democracy. You can have Social Democracy that's Imperialist and derives its wealth from its empire, or you can have a Social Democracy of colonized states, of marginalized people.

    You don't need to hate people based on the label attached to them. You can actually put that asside and judge them on their actual actions and beliefs.
