Social Democracy, often clipped to SocDem (or SuccDem by ideologies that disagree with it), is an economically centre-left ideology. It is usually
culturally left, albeit not exclusively. It advocates for
strong welfare programs, unionization, with the addition of vast
regulation. It is often confused with
Democratic Socialism, or sometimes socialism in general. Despite often being called a "socialist" by right-wing ideologies, Social Democracy is often excluded from
leftist circles as well due to their support for reforming
capitalism rather than abolishing it. Social Democracy finds that a lot of welfare programs and business regulations, when achieved through
reform rather than revolution, can lead to higher prosperity for the proletariat, rather than systems of
unregulated capitalism or
socialism.
History
Historically, Social Democracy was used interchangeably with Democratic Socialism, and still is by many people, especially in the
United States. After World War 2, Social Democracy becomes its own identity and promoted a strong welfare state under a
capitalist economy. Social Democracies have been established in Europe and other types of the world as follows:
India since the establishment of the DPSP, the
Republic of France during the 1930's before
German Occupation,
Australia ever since WWII,
Sri Lanka since the early 1940's,
the French Republic after the fall of nazi France,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.
Beliefs and Views
Social Democracy is a center-left ideology that believes in a mixed economy with a
welfare state funded by progressive taxation. They believe in re-distributing wealth via taxes to make
capitalism more humane.
They subscribe to the Liberal interpretation of human rights. That being the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Social Democrats alter the
Liberal interpretation of 'human rights' to include equality, justice, and solidarity.
To make it simpler, here are the 3 principles of Social Democracy.
Freedom
Social Democracy believes in a liberal democratic framework, Liberal democracy is a form of system operating under the civic principles of
classical liberalism. But however, Social Democratic economics are somewhat different from classical liberalism.
In order to preserve Liberalism, negative rights and positive rights must be balanced. Positive rights such as right to health and right to an adequate standard of living are respected. Negative rights like freedom of speech and property rights are strengthened.
Equality
This is mainly connects to Social Democracy's beliefs and views in Social Justice, Social Equality, taxation, and welfare.
Social Democracies tend to support a universalist welfare. Instead of only subsidizing private services or giving them to the needy, the provisions are available for everyone. The supported policies are universal childcare, care for the elderly, education, healthcare and workers' compensation.
Justice
Mainly connects to File:Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png Enlightenment File:Enlightnenment.png ideals of equality under the law and human rights.
Personality
Social Democracy is generally portrayed as being quite care-taking of other people, even if they may not like it. They are occasionally mistaken for Democratic Socialism. He usually doesn't like this if he's in
Europe, but if he's in
America, he'll proudly call himself a democratic socialist. He will get very mad at
Left Communism and File:Marxlen.png Marxism–Leninism whenever they call him a "Social Fascist".
How to Draw
Drawing Social Democracy requires a few steps:
- Draw a ball.
- Color the ball with red.
- Draw a white rose on the bottom of the ball.
- Add the eyes, and you're done!

Relationships
Friends
Nordic Model - I made you.
Keynesianism - We make the government spend... together.
Left-Wing Populism - We work great during elections, and we both care about the common people.
Regulationism - Time to tax and regulate those big business!!
Anti-Authoritarianism - Down with File:Marxlen.png Communism! Down with
Fascism! Down with
Monarchism!
- File:Progress.png Progressivism - Generally we go hand in hand, although some of my derivatives would beg to differ.
Social Liberalism - A great friend of mine who is basically me but with more market based solutions. We often form coalition governments.
Social Capitalism - Same as above but less regulationist.
Market Socialism - Good friend who likes worker co-ops.
Democratic Socialism
- We're not quite the same but I don't mind your company.
Social Libertarianism - Markets need regulation!
Social Corporatism - My even more regulationist friend who helped me out with the Nordic countries.
Frenemies
Social Georgism - I mean, sure, it sounds fair, but what about all the middle class homeowner votes!?
Paternalistic Conservatism - We often fight in elections, but he's still my child. (And a worthy opponent!)
Welfare Chauvinism - My racist son, on the rise. WHY! Some say you're actually Social Fascism.
Left-Wing Nationalism - Sometimes works with me, sometimes against me.
Kemalism - We have no problem other than closing the unions and preventing the Labor Day and changing the name of the holiday to "Spring Holiday", my welfarist brother!
Social Authoritarianism - You have good ideas, but please, calm down a bit.
Longism - Same as above.
Please come back to us Huey.Titoism - Too authoritarian for my liking, but at least you don't call me a "Social Fascist" unlike your brothers.
Syndicalism - I'm pro-union and all, but I'm not a fan of this whole socialism thing.
Capitalism - Good system. Just needs some more regulation.
- File:Soc.png Socialism - I like a lot of your ideas but I don't think your system will work. Also I really wish people in the US would stop thinking I'm you.
Third Way - I'll still vote for you son, but I wish you would stop trying to compromise with
him.
Marxism - We agree on many of the same issues with capitalism, but I do not necessarily agree with your solutions. Also electoralism is good.
Bernsteinism - I don't hate you dad, but try to tone it down a bit with all that Marxism stuff.
Bismarckism - While I appreciate you a lot for installing the first welfare state, I'm still pretty pissed with how much you tried to suppress my movement.
Libertarian Socialism - Calm down! Socialism isn't a good way to follow!
Democratic Confederalism - Some of my parties in the past were somewhat sympathetic to you, but why do you call us a failed attempt to reform capitalism? We both like the HDP at least.

Mediacracy - Stop with all the anti-Bernie propaganda dammit!

Libertarianism - Just because I like Bernie Sanders doesn't mean I'm a communist!
Luxemburgism - *quietly tightens fiber wire*
- File:Marxlen.png Marxism–Leninism - Keeps calling me the "moderate wing of fascism" despite expanding the state himself.
Left Communism - Same as above guy! Also you claim to love the working class but all you do is sit on an armchair reading esoteric political literature all day without contributing to society you lazy prick!
Dengism - You're the "social fascist."
