social democrat parties are in major decline all over europe, even in sweden.

Well, social democracy is also the welfare system, and it also requires high social trust, and it also incurs debt for future generations.

I may be wrong, but i think social democracy was only possible during the (not so brief) moment of the boomers.

It does not incur debt. Sweden or Denmark has been having debt to GDB ratio constantly declining.

I think social democracy can work but it’s hard and requires huge discipline from government and people. Also, it seems much easier to introduce in smaller countries.

Incurring debt is different than the ratio of debt to gdp (or anything else).
