Around the world, progressive parties have come to see tight immigration restrictions as unnecessary, even cruel. What if they’re actually the only way for progressivism to flourish?
That the era of low immigration was also the era of progressive triumph is no coincidence. […] The United States felt more like a cohesive nation to many voters, with higher levels of social trust and national pride, and politicians were able to enact higher taxes on the rich and new benefits like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
easy. the danish “liberals” adopted nationalist policies.
you’re looking for liberalism in social democracy?
Social democracy is literally a branch of liberalism
third way maybe, but that’s 80s new labour BS while denmark’s is very well-rooted in the old left and standard version of social democracy
The last Danish PM from the Social democrats is married to the son of a UK labour leader (who is also a current labour minister) and she is a member of the UK Labour party. The two parties are very close.
i’ll start looking for jesus in such cursed times.
