>>2226557>soc dems promise these things but can they deliver them without things such as capital flight and giving the working class some gaurantees?no they cant. which is why we are marxists. the soc-dem period was a one off trick. the capitalists were shitting themselves due to a combination of the October revolution, soviet Russia, conscripted veterans coming back from war, and the popularity of socialism. they were willing to take the cut and build the welfare state from the profits of imperialism. as soon as it was politically viable, they went to work attacking it and dismantling it. the profits are now too low and the capitalists are more desperate. they won't allow a Bernie or Corbin type to come into power and take a hit on their profits for a few years to calm the workers.
