Social Democracy, often clipped to SocDem (or SuccDem by ideologies that disagree or despise 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 (which is largley seen as a US phenomenon). 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, which is still rather common in the
United States, especially since
Bernie Sanders' rise in popularity. 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, which they usually don't like, but they'll often proudly call themself a democratic socialist in
The United States. 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 - We're essentially the same.
Keynesianism - We make the government spend... together.
Left-Wing Populism - We work great during elections, and we both care about the common people.
Social Libertarianism - Even though you are a bit libertarian you are still my beloved son.
Regulationism - Time to tax and regulate those big business!!
Iron Front - Down with File:Marxlen.png Communism! Down with
Fascism! Down with
Monarchism!
Third Way - I'll still vote for you son, but I wish you would stop trying to compromise with
him. Otherwise you are great. Stoltenberg is especially based!
- 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.
Libertarian Social Democracy - My left libertarian buddy. Basically me but with more of an emphases on civil liberties.
Market Socialism - Good friend who likes worker co-ops, but a bit too socialist, which is pretty eh.
Democratic Socialism
- We're not quite the same, but I don't mind your company.
Socialism of the 21st Century - My Latin American counterpart.
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! Also, being an unironic "Social Fascist" gives tankies propaganda material.
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 with your methods. Thaksin was quite based but Lukashenko must go!
Longism - Same as above.
Please come back to us Huey.Social Corporatism - Sure, capitalism is flawed, but that does not mean we need to go full 3rd position. I'll still work with you though.
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 - You're my father and we have a lot in common, but I don’t think your ideology can work. Nonetheless, I’m sympathetic with most of your views.
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.
Neoconservatism - You're very controversial among my followers. You always try coup me in the third world but my followers in the west have become more accepting of you in recent years. At least we both hate Russia and China.
Ordo-Liberalism - You still like social welfare, but you're a tad too conservative when it comes to regulation for my liking. Far from horrible though.
Anti-Fascism - The Iron Front was ultra based, but what's up with the whole "Social Fascism" bullshit?!
Enemies
Libertarian Marxism - Stop Spamming that Marx quote against me! I don't have a "Servile belief in the state".
Anarcho-Communism - STOP CALLING ME A SUCCDEM!
Putinism - God awful authoritarian capitalist dictator and imperialist. Hands off Ukraine. Gorbachev should be given a second chance.
Mediacracy - Stop with all the anti-Bernie propaganda dammit!
Neoliberalism - Everything I had built up to this point, you just had to destroy it. Fuck you!
Still don't know why we decided to have thatkid together..
Libertarianism - Just because I like Bernie Sanders doesn't mean I'm a communist! Also, if we privatize everything as you suggest, we'll just enable China's soft imperialism.
Luxemburgism - Cope harder commie. You attempted to overthrow a democratic government and failed miserably, HA!
*quietly tightens fiber wire*- File:Marxlen.png Marxism–Leninism - The "Social Fascist" is
Welfare Chauvinism, not me! Also, you scumbug, worked with
him to sabotage me![Note 1][6]
National Socialism - YOU DESTROYED THE DEMOCRACY I BUILT AND COMMITTED GENOCIDE AGAINST AT LEAST 6 MILLION PEOPLE! GET DESTROYED BY THE ALLIES, YOU DIRTY NAZI!

Anarcho-Capitalism - Healthcare is a human right!
Fascism - I don't care if we agree on economics. Leave me alone fascist pig!
Imperialism - Stop trying to coup me everytime I try to nationalize my country's natural resources.
Paleoconservatism and
Trumpism - The two of you are suspiciously similar to the guy above you know...
Juche - Stop using my name for propaganda you totalitarian scumbag!
Pinochetism - STOP CALLING ME
AN UPELIENTO!
Pink Capitalism - We could have been friends but you just had to cause economies to collapse.
Objectivism - You hate the poor so stay away from me.

Notes
- ↑ Ernst Thälmann and the Communist Party of Germany targeted Social Democrat politicians instead because they thought Nazis coming to power would accelerate the collapse of capitalism, which at the time seemed preferable to the slow and reformist nature of moderate Marxists in the SDP
