Norwegian here. I thought the foundation for our welfare state was laid over many years by unions fighting for their rights. And the workers party and socialist party working together on top of that for decades. The communists (AKP ML) were never a big movement.

    The fact that you distinguish unions and communists is insane. As if there's only one communism and it was built in Russian 1929, everything else is a welfare state

    You're the one who went off piste conflating related but distinctive and not necessarily interdependent things and pretending that not doing so is the darkest depths of madness 😄

    A rectangle is square shaped but is not a square.

    Communism was done through the movement of unionised workers, and you'll find similarities in the talking points, as communism was an answer to the problems most unionised workers can agree on.

    But unionised workers don't immediately agree with communism.
