Social Democracy

Socdemball, full name Social Democracy is a moderately left-leaning, culturally progressive ideology inhabiting the left side of the center quadrant. She believes in a democratic society whereby competitively run markets exist, but is heavily regulated in favor of the working class to ensure fair and sustainable growth alongside funding for the abundant social programs.

She also believes in public ownership of key businesses like healthcare, electricity, and water. She also has strong support for trade unions. She attacks both Marxism–Leninism and  Anarcho-Communism for their beliefs.

She's the most economically left ball who is also not a self-proclaimed socialist.
