apparently nominally a member of a social-democratic party
When I was younger, I believed that social-democratic parties were better than conservative ones on matters of civil liberties. I stand corrected on that.
As a dane: The social democratic party in Denmark has changed a lot in the last 10-20 years. It used to be much more left-leaning. Nowadays it’s essentially a middle party. They adopted quite a few policies from the right wing (especially on the immigration area), in an attempt to keep the power basically, and it has worked immensely well, in the sense that many, many people have voted for them.
This is why it’s so important to vote based on policy, not party names or “teams”. Parties can name themselves whatever they want (within reason) and they evolve and change as well. Canada right now is a good example. The current Liberal party is basically the Conservative party of the 90s. Just look at policy and leave the brand out of it.
Never forget, North Korea calls itself The Democratic Republic of North Korea. The Nazis were called The National Socialist German Worker’s Party. Words have meaning, even when they don’t.
The capitalist counties have proven that surveillance and censorship is more effective when you make it so subtle that a majority of their citizens are unaware that it’s happening.

It’s more like people in power don’t like civil liberties.

SocDem is still capitalist. Capitalist politicians answer to capital.
Yep. If you want to escape from surveillance and censorship, you’ve got to go to a communist country.
You forgot the /s
I guess, some people are deluded with communism.

Where would that be?
I was being sarcastic.
Social democracy is the left wing of fascism
What a stupid take.
Just because the guy is a fucktard, doesnt mean the party is. And the other way around.
Politics is not a “team sport” and we should not treat it like that.
Parties choose whom to nominate as ministers.
I’m not a voter in Denmark and not familiar with Danish politics; this kind of thing would certainly cause me to vote for a different party.
