I’ve been dealing with a fairly aggressive Cold Warrior boomer from the US lately. When I counter their red baiting with criticisms of American liberalism, the person insists that they’re not actually a lib, but rather a Nordic-style socdem.
Does anyone guide me to any good communist criticisms of the Scandinavian capitalist states?
Pic possibly unrelated.
Yeah, maybe Richard Wolff can be a gateway drug. He explains things in such an incredibly plain manner, and it's pretty hard to disagree with what he says—only with what he doesn't say. I don't think he talks much about the third world, and I'm pretty skeptical that worker co-ops by themselves can overthrow capitalism, since as far as I know that has never actually happened. So when it comes to his critique of capitalism, yes. When it comes to his solutions, no.
