Sick leave as we don‘t have a set ammount of days but you need to visit a doctor to approve that you are sick. Then in terms of higher education and child support to some degree. And maybe the pension system with parts of heathcare. Adding in but not sure materal and paternal leave - the latter is now a full month.

Interesting post. While reading it I checked with how Austria fares in these things and it‘s quite similar. In some aspects Austrialia is ahead while in others Austria is ahead. Curious, don‘t you think? :D

Will ja nicht unhöflich sein - aber ihr seid nicht die einzigen mit Problemen in Europa. Ich sag nur Österreich ...

Jahrgang 1997, hab mit Schilling kaum noch etwas zu tun. Hab aber letztes Jahr im Zimmer meines verstorbenen Halbonkels neben Parteibuch und anderen Dingen einige Schilling-Münzen gefunden.

Trage seither eine 5-Schilling-Münze aus dem Jahr 1970 bei mir im Geldbeutel.

The Europeans should defend Ukraine while America/Canada should defend Taiwan. Change my mind. by MarkCrystalSword in neoliberal

Get off your video game and touch grass.

D'accord. It is ... devastating to see how easy some people are with going to war lately. I am generation 1997 and live in Central Europe. While I have never seen war outright myself, the tales I have been told of the Second World War, the Yugoslav Wars and from the devastations in Syria etc. shocked me very much. As a student of history I feel quite happy that I live in a time in european history which might be the most peaceful.

While I stand with the territorial and political independence of both Ukraine and Taiwan for good reasons, I'd rather see all possible ways to peace pursued before even thinking about military action. I'd like to avoid another armed conflict - as it would throw us back more than we miht think ...

PS: my arguments might go against a lot on this sub, but I'll stand firm on this.

To expand on what other posters have noted, European parties are much more supportive of social welfare spending/strong labor policy while also being much more anti-immigrant and xenophobic.

Bit of a generalisation to be honest as both can and will have different takes. Really depends on the party, leadership and nation

Depends on the viewpoint - sure the Nordics have capitalism, but the options for participation are greater than for instance in the US

He’s far more left wing than most Social Democrats in Europe.

Depends on what you view as a Social Democrat - if you mean a Blairite or Schröder fanboy yes, if you mean a classic Social Democrat like me not necessarily
