After Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic nomination for president to Joe Biden, a moderate, some concerns have arisen to the survival of socialism in western democracies. After a huge Labour defeat in the UK election, a substantial loss of seats from the NDP and a large right-wing resurgence in the EU, the general socialist ideology has suffered in the past 5 years or so in the West. What can we do to save it? And what has been the instrument of it's decline?
I do know that in some western countries, like Mexico and the Nordic Countries, socialism has prevailed to an extent, so what has kept it going there but not in other places? (sorry about having to delete the poll, but this thread needed a major makeover.)
Here are a few general guidelines to follow:
-Rightists are welcomed as long as they have something constructive to say.
-We will be discussing why some socialist movements are doing poorly in the west and others decently well.
-Have fun!
Note that the discussion here should be kept at least PG-13, and please, don't stray away from the topic. Please.
And finally, have fun!
