  • As others have said no one source should have blanket trust.

    Understanding the bias the source may have by looking up who owns/funds it and understanding how that might skew what you’re reading is important.

    For news based on studies I usually will try to directly to the study which should list the methodology which will help show how well done it was.

    If I have time later I’ll put together a list of ones I use and what I’ve seen as their biases.









  • Expanding on what the other commenters have said -

    Ultimately when the status quo is threatened it’s been shown multiple times throughout history that even though SocDems may desire a somewhat more equal society their actions have pretty much always been against communists fighting for actual change (SPD and Luxembourg, etc.).

    They see themselves as allies of capitalism at the end of the day so once push comes to shove they cant be counted as allies. That doesn’t mean we can’t work with them in very specific instances or try to educate them into becoming communists (think a lot of communists started out as SocDems at some point) but we need to keep in mind that as organizations/parties they aren’t allies and will not protect us from the more brutal wings of fascism.

    Edit:

    Another way to think about it is SocDems will support capital until the end since they still think it can be reformed(otherwise they wouldn’t be SocDems), and since capitalism will always decay into Fascism that’s why they’re the moderate wing of Fascism.
