no u

social democracy *emerged* specifically to bring socialism via democratic means

If a person wants to live in society, he is a socialist.

read Kautsky

Literally in the name, people!

~~socialism is when you starve your people and work them to death because muh heavy industry~~

Socialism was quickly abandoned by Soc Dems

read Kautsky, read Lassalle, read socdem authors

theories change over time 😩 @Xinyue

It is about having a process of socialization to remove the dominance of capitalism

just like Marxism has changed.. you are Outdated in all these Spheres

@Xinyue how can an illiterate read a book

🤔

Socialism was abandoned by most socdems in around late 1950s, 1960s and the last holdouts evaporated in 1970s

so it had a good century of socialist content

irrelevant?

social democracy doesn't exist anymore, it melted into neoliberalism.

the point being that these people aren't socialists

It does still exist

Norway for example

well maybe in Venezuela you could say that PSUV is doing oldschool socdem

Norway invented the Chinse model of Capitalism before the Chinese even knew what capitalism was

``Welfare States are Neo Liberal```

```As an economic philosophy, neoliberalism emerged among European liberal scholars in the 1930s as they attempted to trace a so-called "third" or "middle" way between the conflicting philosophies of classical liberalism and socialist planning.[24]:14–15 The impetus for this development arose from a desire to avoid repeating the economic failures of the early 1930s, which neoliberals mostly blamed on the economic policy of classical liberalism. In the decades that followed, the use of the term "neoliberal" tended to refer to theories which diverged from the more laissez-faire doctrine of classical liberalism and which promoted instead a market economy under the guidance and rules of a strong state, a model which came to be known as the social market economy. ```

lmao try again Storm

I don't understand lefists

Neoliberals are just communists in denial.

Neoliberalism is literally a revival of classical liberalism and classical economics

But it's funny af to watch then fight amongst themselfs

:comfypepe:

The fall of the orthodox social democracy directly correlates with the emergence of the first neoliberals

I don't think there are any parties, again perhaps except PSUV, that's doing anything even resembling "orthodox/classical social democracy"

The stated goal of the neoliberals was to destroy Keynes and Keynesianism and Social Democracy

@Xinyue they are for state intervention in the economy more than classical liberals.. so they're like socdems?

the current "socdems" yes

very similar

wat

if you haven't noticed that's basically what contemporary social democrats do

just intervention in economy and guidance of the national economy under "social market economic" praxis

Name a contemporary Social Democrat

Bill Clinton wasn't a Social Democrat 😩
