Solidarity to CodePink getting the message for diplomacy instead of endless money/arms heaping in the war as always. Can't habeeb Bernie went from resisting with his full body weight between two cops in his youth, to dolling out zip-ties like friendship bracelets. ![bern-disgust](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/130116e5-9b3a-4dab-8f12-5e32099fb9e8.png "emoji bern-disgust")
It's worth noting this is only really true for imperialist nations and not for former colonies or periphery states. Social Democracy have their limits and issues, but they can often be genuine improvements in nations like Venezuela or Bolivia when they actually serve an anti-imperialist function (uniting the nation to kick out compradors and foreign capitalists and colonizers). Contrast this with Boric, who is a soc dem sell-out disconnected from the working class entirely who acts as a comprador - so they're not always good but have to be evaluated case-by-case basis.
man, I remember celebrating so much with my chilean friend when boric got elected
then the new constitution failed and we've just gotten more cynical… ; ;
It's still a victory, however small, to have Boric and not a fascist/neoliberal in charge of Chile.
it is, but he has mellowed down so much that he's probably not even a socdem anymore , at least according to my friend
