    Looks the last 70 years of socdem/demsoc electoralism, (much more successfull and lasting than everything the US is even a decade from hoping to do) ,unions and searches for any increase or spread of class conciousness anywhere

    uhhh lets not be so sure about these correlations even if they make sense theoreticaly

      French unions have been pretty aggressive. British unions were big supporters of Corbyn's democratic socialist project. It's hard to find a social democracy that doesn't have a larger leftist movement than America.

        aggressive at keeping their social democracy, nothing about advancing class conciousness and socialism. Also europeans countries having a larger leftist movement is explained historicaly by many other reasons other than social democracy ,under which socialist movements almost never grew in Europe, only stagnated
