    Nah it still depends on the exploitation of the proletariat just like every form of capitalism does, it just exports more of its suffering

      Exports it to where? Are you suggesting that social democracies exploit the third world more? What evidence do you have for that?

          What? Ask someone in the third world, "would you like to be exploited a bit less or a bit more?" and I have a sneaking suspicion what answer they might give.

          This is the most privedged perspective imaginable.

          it just exports more of its suffering Was in his comment, and It matters quite a bit because if that were the case there would be a moral argument against social democracy. If that is not the case, why would we not want a fairer distribution of resources within a state?

          I also think it is reasonable to say that imperialism is inevitable at some point, but I think that internal pressure (ie anti-war movements) can have an effect on the ability of a state to carry out imperialism, which could have an effect on the ability of third world anti imperialist movements to fight back.
