Social democracy as a set of policies and programs
hit all it's various ...state by state ....category by category ...high water marks everywhere
some time between 1966 and 1982
Regardless of when
All long since past now
Enter various shades of neoliberalism as the counter evolution
Now neo liberalism is in deep shit and yet what is the world historical negation
Surely not a return to the abandoned projects of social democracy
Well perhaps rhetorically
But surely not substantively
Note the calls here for European solutions while Europe is in crisis over these solutions
More like Denmark dear Bernie cries
While Denmark only darkens in its own apparent impasse
Ah the tragic sense of history !
Better yet the soap opera of mangled humanist dreamscapes
Personified by that sophomoric Nassau tabby Paul kugel man
With his bathetic sense of bummerhood :
this story of America
Has no apparent Hollywood ending
