Capital D democrats love California because it's a democratic stronghold and a testing ground for all kinds of liberal policy, but it's also dominated by capital interests. In terms of GDP it represents 1/6th of the entire US economy. It's one of the clearest examples of liberalism's relationship with capital. Most socialists would not look fondly on California governance. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Uh huh We both know you hate California because all you ever do is attack Democrats. There are dozens of "bellwether economic indicators" and California is doing excellent on most of them. Of course you'd pick a couple of bad ones because you have an agenda. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] archomrade@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Well I do attack democrats an awful lot, but not because they're any kind of model of leftist governance Those are the metrics any leftist would be interested in with any highly developed state or economy. How distributed is the wealth? Are low-earners able to afford a comparative standard of living? Do they have economic and employment mobility? ect. They look to answer the question, "to what degree is the working class subject to coercive capitalist conditions?" Other economic metrics are weighted toward assessing the performance of capital, and are far less relevant to the questions leftists care about answering. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's a particularly sad and flimsy justification for cherry picking. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] archomrade@midwest.social -1 points 2 years ago Maybe we just don't share the same political goals, then. permalink fedilink source parent
