My brother, who's a social democrat, claims that social democracy is not capitalism
This dude has a political science major... I tried telling him that in social democracy the workers don't own the means of production so it's still capitalism, but he doesn't listen. I remember went he stopped supporting my country's (Netherlands) neoliberal party (D66) and started supporting PvdA, our socialdemocratic party. I was hopeful that he was slowly turning to the left, but nothing's changed. What are some arguments against socialdemocracy that a social democrat might listen to?
Political science degrees are an inoculation against correct ideas.
I also blame a lack of marxist party for this. I was talking to my mom yesterday and she asked me whether or not I will vote in november. I want to vote but I have honestly no idea what to vote. The most left option is GL/PvdA and they are socdems at best like you say.
Ur bro just needs to read the first chapter of State and revolution. Tho he probably will cry when Lenin calls him a petty-bourgeois democrat with near-socialist phraseology and a phillistine 😅
