Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    The whole point of social democracy is to borrow concepts and values from socialism

    The nazis borrowed the word “socialist,” too - and it doesn’t make the nazis any more socialist than social democracy. And just like the nazis, social democracy borrows nothing from socialism except the word “social.”

    Socialism only has one value and one concept - the workers control the means of production. You can’t “borrow” this concept because it’s already free for anyone to take. If you don’t take it, it means you don’t have anything that can be called socialism with a straight face.
