    One could argue that the social democratic strategy stood in the way of all the different approches to peoples power. in many situations social democrats actively sabotaged or withdrew support for strikes, revolutions, riots and struggles. Imo what we have in many places in europe is not because of them but despite their constant effort to undermine any actual system change.

      Your first two sentences come under the ‘messy compromise’ that I acknowledged from the start. The last is just obviously untrue.
