#socialdemocratic — Public Fediverse posts

An anecdote that summarises the building of the #welfare state. A young aide to a long-time Finnish Social Democrat prime minister Kalevi Sorsa once despaired of yet another boring, bureaucratic meeting. Sorsa said "son, that's what good #SocialDemocratic #politics are - concrete grey and boring."

After reading about Finland's #SocialDemocratic history & the building of the Nordic #welfare states, one thing is painfully clear: they were build by serious, pragmatic team players willing to do the boring work. Flashy, self-aggrandising contrarians who loved their own voice were *useless.*

’ Some now seek to scare #leftwing and centre-left voters by claiming that the NFP’s programme for government would be dangerous for the #French economy. They are wrong. ’ (…) ’ In historical context, it should be considered a pragmatic, #socialdemocratic set of proposals aimed at reducing inequalities and preparing for the future. There is nothing radical in this agenda. ’

Ok, so now I have a #Lemmy account and it actually may be a solid #Reddit replacement. I found some #Futurama meme sites,#StarTrek discussion, #Ireland forum and a #Philosophy board where I got to engage in a discussion about #Plato, #Nietzsche & his #Dionysus v #Apollo binary framework.

Now I just need to find some more niche communities for #Neoplatonism, #IrishMythology, #TTRPG #Psychology, #Polytheism, #History and general #LeftWing #Socialist or even #SocialDemocratic discussion.
