the most admirable forms of social democratic and socialist organization were those constructed at the level of the nation-state. The Nordic forms of social democracy in the West and the many socialist anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements in the Global South are emblematic in different ways. Efforts were made by organizations like the Socialist International to organize social democratic states and parties into a more global movement. But none of these ever achieved the influence of capitalist financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, in no small part due to the lack of a powerful imperial backer like the United States.
✏️ This is an interesting thought. Good socialist examples stop at the nation state level. We don’t have global institutions, the way capitalism has World Bank and IMF (which can only exist because of having a huge imperial/capitalist backer in the US) 🔗 View Highlight
