Social Democracy believes in a liberal democratic framework, [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal democracy]] is a form of system operating under the civic principles of [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|classical liberalism]]. But however, Social Democratic economics are incredibly different from classical liberalism.
Social Democracy is a [[File:CLeft.png]] center-left ideology that believes in a mixed economy with a [[File:Welf.png]] [[Welfarism|welfare]] state funded by progressive taxation. They believe in re-distributing wealth via taxes to make [[File:Cap.png]] [[capitalism]] more humane. However [[File:Bernst.png]] [[Reformist Marxism|many social democrats]] also consider it within their goal to abolish capitalism entirely. And [[File:LeftSocdem.png]] [[
While, not being [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|Marxist]] (well [[File:Bernst.png]] [[Reformist Marxism|mostly not anyway]]), social democrats still subscribe to Karl Marx's scientific socialism, which calls for an analysis of historical events as class conflict and material desires being unfulfilled. Scientific socialism also calls for a mass workers' movement, opposition to an [[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism|intellectual]] and most definitely an [[File:Onenatcon.png]] [[One-Nation_Conservatism|aristocratic]] movement. This Scientific socialism is the main differentiation between a left-wing liberal and a social democrat. [[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism]] came from an intellectual elite while social democracy comes from unions, workers, and farmers.
They subscribe to the [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal]] interpretation of human rights. That being the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Social Democrats alter the [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal]] interpretation of 'human rights' to include equality, justice, and solidarity.

===Solidarity===
Solidarity means everyone, society, being willing to help one another. Social democrats view solidarity as the glue that holds society together. Solidarity means that [[File:Tripartism.png]] [[Corporatism|sectoral bargaining]] is implemented in at least the most crucial industries and public services, such as healthcare, transportation and education, in order to prevent strikes in those institutions from disrupting the rest of society. But likewise, society will pay these essential workers high wages to ensure they can make ends meet.
