This website is like 100% "don't vote" stuff, but shouldn't we? Like... if our DemSoc comrades are asking us to get out and vote, shouldn't we do so out of solidarity?
Someone explain to me why this is a bad thing. Cause i'm legit not seeing it.

Are we really putting Chavez and Corbyn in the same pool of political ideology? Number goes up liberals go up.
iirc Corbyn stated during the last election that he would implement "full Chavismo"
Chavez lead a revolutionary guard that is still in power 20 years later against numerous coup attempts by the U.S government including one earlier this year. I have solidarity with Corbyn, but come on.

Olaf Palme was quite different from Blair on both foreign and domestic policy. A better British counterpart to him ideologically would be someone like Tony Benn (but Benn was never PM so we cant discuss the theory/praxis distinction). Blair didn't fail to defend any achievements, he succeeded in giving a human face to Thatcherism and cementing a neoliberal consensus, and he was so successful in transforming Labour that the party's immune response to Corbyn was successful. Blairism is a departure from socdem ideology, not a weakened version of it.

I think we need to consider the fact that "actual" social democracy, which asks for a partial nationalization of the economy and sectoral collective bargaining and a cradle-to-grave welfare state is quite distinct from the third way liberalism the traditional socdem parties have come to embrace. The center-left parties have become revisionists of revisionism.
