The chauvinism that lies at the heart of their worldview is the underlying assumption that all those foreign people must be A) Doing their own liberation wrong and B) Lying about it

Which branch is “true socialism” again? Noticing a definite lack of social democratic countries in that list.

Social democracy is welfare capitalism, and depends on imperialism.

Social democracy is but the left wing of capital, not actual socialism.

Social-Democracy despite its name is in the modern age simply another form of liberalism.

Nordic countries are not socialist just because they offer more of the spoils of plunder. In fact, the share of that is rabidly shrinking as they pivot to fascism faster and faster.

No, that's socialism!

Exactly haha, they want to keep everyone arguing about socialism and capitalism like they are conflicting religions. The simple answer is to socialize and capitalize as appropriate. In the USA USPS is a social system. Capitalist companies like Fedex or UPS fill in the gaps. You can do the same thing for healthcare, like in Brazil.

As long as they can keep people believing in the magic line in the sand we will continue in this reality. OPs meme is just another tool to maintain the program.
