    I’d like to throw in social-democracy, too… It’s more popular to go for one of the extremes while forming a strong opinion… But caring for the people and more for the workers than for the rich is a possibility whithout going to the extreme.

      My issue with social democracy is that it still relies on the exploitation of the global south. I can’t care for only the workers of my nation. You should watch the video, it has a lot to do with that.

      There was once a time when I too idolozed the nordic model

        I’d argue caring just for national workers isn’t baked into social democracy. Maybe on the contrary. In a globalized world we have to unite. And the exporting and importing goods, needing qualified and unqualified workers means an economy has to pay attention to foreign people, too. Yeah but exploitaition of the south and importing cheap goods from developing countries is part of history. And still what happens as of today. I don’t see it specifically connected to this form of economy. In theory i don’t think it’s well aligned.
        But I didn’t watch the video, yet. Maybe I can muster up the time later. It’s 90minutes long. And doesn’t seem I can watch it while doing other things 😉
