    i think it’s relatively accurate and illustrative to put FDR/LBJ/Truman into a socdem box–they point out, with Typical American Extravagance the inherent contradictions of this political programme. the rightful disdain these names elicit is what people should feel for “social democracy” writ-large.

    putting Teddy Roosevelt, a naked imperialist & Bernie, an unaccomplished collaborateur on the ends really completes the picture chefs-kiss

    e: im sorta dumb i copied their demsoc framing when its obv about social democracy, not democratic socialism.
