Did socialism ever have a moment of glory in Sweden?

Yes it is and Corbyn is the next Lenin. Deal with it.
Jaxson Anderson
Depends on what you mean by that but Sweden had an era of pretty fucking sweet social democracy, that has really shaped this country. The social democratic party did make an attempt to start a transition to some kind of "real socialism", through "employee funds". It's a pretty neat idea for a reformist transition to socialism tbh but of course it didn't go anywhere.

I see, so the furthest to the left they've been is socialdemocracy? Better than nothing I guess
William Walker
Yeah basically. I'm pretty sure the Left Party, that used to be the (pro-USSR, comintern) Communist Party of Sweden has always got less than 10% of the vote.
Joseph Bennett
So literally every country?
Jace Lee
Is the DPRK socialist?
Daniel Scott
Hell yeah
