        Here, it’s the opposite. The social democrats and their allies were in government for a long time and the second the more conservatives (still pretty left compared to the USA though) got power they proposed a fuck ton of laws including visitation zones where they can search people without suspect. That law actually goes into effect very soon.

          Exactly that. They use police to protect capital’s interests just like the other countries. So they need to expand police powers. Just look at Weimar Germany for historical examples.

            We’re talking about modern day social democrats and you bring up Weimar Germany. There’s a lot more recent examples of social democrats in power lol.

        Like the socialist Nazi party throwing a world war with a side of genocide.

            I don’t think a modern day Nazi would highlight the socialist part or talk about starting world war and genocide

            Or you found the person using the example of the Nazi party being socialists in name only to highlight the ridiculousness of the comment I replied to.

            social democrats sure do like building police states
