so I'm noticing a kind of irritating trend, where someone posts a take that's entirely compatible with a Marxist worldview, but either 1) is informed by some sub-par historical background, or 2) uses more nuance than "unlimited genocide on the first world". Instead of engaging though, people here activate the "lib detected" protocols and go immediately into shit posting and malice mode.

I disagree with your take, and I think it's pretty straightforward to explain that the only reason the Nordic model has allowed both the inefficient distribution of resources of capitalism and a (fairly) robust social safety net is that they have far, far more than enough to go around (read: more surplus value than could ever be produced domestically), and that amount of wealth and resources can literally (and does literally) only come from without. But I'm not gonna PPB you or call you a lib or tell you to "read a book" because clearly you're a leftist and you're trying. I'm all for using those responses against people who aren't our allies but you're with us. You came here and wrote this effort post because you care. So thanks, even if I disagree, and thanks to everyone else wh has addressed this in good faith. For everyone else, save that energy, there will be plenty of actual libs and hogs to dunk on.
