Social Democracy

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 to promote  social justice. It is often confused with Democratic Socialism, or sometimes socialism in general (which is largley seen as a US phenomenon in the modern day). 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

[[File:LeftSocdem.png]] Left-Social Democracy
Left-Social Democracy is a variant of social democracy that shows support for trade protectionism (sometimes),  left-wing populism (usually), a mixed market economy, and  strong government intervention in the economy. These views are held by social democrats who adhere to Keynesian economics of post-WW2 social democrats. What differs left-social democrats from classical social democrats is that not all left-social democrats want to transition out of a capitalist framework, but all classical social democrats would be left-social democrats.

[[File:RightSocDem.png]] Right-Social Democracy
Right-Social Democracy, sometimes called Third Way Social Democracy, is the right variant of social democracy that supports a  social market economy (mostly),  globalism (usually), and trickle-down economics (sometimes). This version of social democracy can be seen in many centre-left parties in Europe since the rise of neoliberalism in the 1980's. However, it can simply mean social democrats who are more willing to compromise their ideals with right wing parties or just social democrats who arrive at the same conclusion as "normal" social democrats but via capitalist philosophers and economists and simply view social democracy as the best way to preserve capitalism.

[[File:LibSocDemIcon.png]] Libertarian Social Democracy
Libertarian Social Democracy is a economically centre-left and civically libertarian ideology. It is considered a more moderate form of left-libertarianism. It supports basic social democratic principals and policies but with an added focus on  civil liberties and is opposed to rampant  statism outside of the economy. They also tend to support Direct Democracy and  Non-Interventionist foreign policy. Notable examples of Libertarian Socdems include late former Alaska senator Mike Gravel, left-wing political commentator and  youtuber  Kyle Kulinski and former  Democratic presidential candidate, author and activist  Marianne Williamson.

[[File:ClassicalSocDem.png]] Classical Social Democracy
Classical Social Democracy is a variant of social democracy that supports the eventual transition from a capitalist economy to a socialist economy, these views are held by reformist Marxists and other socialists who use social democracy as a realpolitik approach to achieving socialism in a liberal democracy.

[[File: EconProg.png]] Social Progressivism
Social Progressivism, also called Literal Social Progressivism is a centre-left, reformist ideology focused on helping minorities (racial, ethnic and sexual) escaping poverty while also protecting, what they see as, the rights of women (such as abortion). They plan to help these people escape poverty with Keynesian measures such as universal healthcare (with a focus on developing a cure for AIDS, transgender surgeries and making abortion easily accessible. They support affirmative action programs to help eradicate poverty in poor areas too.

[[File:Socfem.png]] Social Feminism
Social Feminism is a feminist movement that advocates for social rights and special accommodations for women. It was first used to describe members of the women's suffrage movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who were concerned with social problems that affected women and children. They saw obtaining the vote mainly as a means to achieve their reform goals rather than a primary goal in itself. After women gained the right to vote, social feminism continued in the form of labor feminists who advocated for protectionist legislation and special benefits for women. Although the validity of the term "social feminism" is highly disputed between historians and its original usage.

[[File:Gsocdem.png]] Green Social Democracy
Green social democracy also known as centre left environmentalism is an ideology that wants strong regulation, powerful unions and Keynesian economic but believes that the environment comes first always and may break with Keynesian economics i.e., infinite growth on a planet with finite resources and side against unions i.e Green SocDems want to close down all the coal mines, something labour unions obviously do not want. They are usually fiercely protectionist, to lower CO2 emissions from transportation but also to protect workers. Though this is not hard and fast.

Social Nationalism is in its most basic definition is a Nationalist state with a social economy range from left social democracy to Rhine capitalism and potentially more right-wing systems. The nationalist state by nature would be authoritarian but social nationalism acknowledges the problems with unchecked power and supports a constitution which would control the power the executive holds, its modern form is also a traditionalist ideology that is against gay marriage and believes that the three purposes of life are Nation, God and Love. However, the traditional version of social nationalism was much more progressive in its historical context. This ideology is not to be confused with National Socialism. It has seen a rise in support amongst national populist European groups and may present itself as a status quo in  conservative countries like Poland and Hungary. Historical examples that are close to socnat include: Kemalist Turkey,  Nationalist China under the KMT, and  Mexican Institutional Revolutionary Party, and Poland under  Józef Piłsudski. It believes:


 * We shouldn’t strive for laissez faire capitalism, because that will lead to a degenerate culture of materialism and consumerism and we should not strive for communism either as it is inefficient and would weaken the nation
 * Economics should be somewhat flexible so that the system that best suits the people is what gets implemented.
 * Most immigration to a country should be from culturally similar nations & people and limited to only the most skilled. Actual refugees should go to the nearest stable country that offers asylum and if no one is willing to house them then they must remain in their homeland.
 * Economic migrants should be highly restricted to the needs of the nation and from nations similar ethnically and culturally to us for easy assimilation. If they have broken the law they should either be deported or imprisoned (Depending on how serious the crime is)
 * Nationalism, Social collectivism and Traditionalism should be taught in every school, aligning with the virtues that would be important to teach to youth, while other values like discipline, high work ethic, honesty and unity would be encouraged
 * Intervention in foreign countries to spread nationalism further and for national gain is necessary, but a diplomatic option should always be tried first.

 

Militant Social Democracy (MilSocDem) is an economically centre-left, statist, strongly patriotic, culturally centrist and militaristic ideology which supports the combination of social democratic economic policies, such as a capitalist market economy heavily regulated in favour of the working class, an abundance of social programs and public ownership of businesses such as education and healthcare, with the belief that a strong military capability, "predominance of the armed forces in the administration of the state" and glorification of the military is needed in an ideal society and that the nation should be prepared to use military force in order to defend or promote its national interests.

[[File:Cosmo.png]] Cosmopolitan Social Democracy
Cosmopolitan Social Democracy is a culturally progressive, , and economically   ideology that seeks to establish a   under  social democratic principles, and the   that supports globalization, but opposes  economic globalization. He wants to protect civil rights and promote economic justice globally with these principles in mind.

[[File:Agsoc.png]] Agrarian Social Democracy
Agrarian Social Democracy (also known as Social Agrarianism) is a center-left political ideology which combines  with. He stresses widespread ownership of wealth-generating property, political decentralization, and a preference for small communities in the context of a  with. Despite having similar goals to  and , he tends to support   and other  progressive causes. (The ideology itself is culturally variable, however.) He can also be seen as a moderate form of.

Core Tenants of Agrarian Social Democracy

Though not to the extent of, Agrarian Social Democracy is more radical in his opposition to economic inequality than SocDem. Especially after the latter adopted a pro-growth neoliberal stances in the late 20th century. He believes excess inequality, monopoly, and monopsony is a threat to democratic institutions and human rights; through lobbying and bribery the wealthiest have the loudest voices, breeding avraice and corruption. AgSocDem prefers local-level production and consumption.

This contempt for inequality and preference for localism manifests in the form of suppressing wealth concentration in favor of widespread property ownership. He has various means of achieving this, although not universally accepted by his followers, including:
 * Policies designed to [[File:Markets.png]] increase competition.
 * The [[File:Trustbust.png]] breaking up of large industries and trusts (e.g., Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Banking, and Big Oil).
 * Limiting business size directly through other anti-trust legislation (e.g., outlawing vertical integration).
 * Decentralizing currency through community banks and credit unions, while also limiting or prohibiting interest or usury.
 * A tax on the [[File:Georgist.png]] unimproved value of land to deprive the landed elites of a tool to suppress unlanded commoners.
 * [[File:Anti-Corrupt.png]] Wealth caps (like the maximum wage).
 * Subsidies and tax incentives for family-owned small businesses and farms (e.g., self-employment assistance, tax breaks, and generous loans for aspiring entrepreneurs and start-ups).
 * Removing or reforming unfair business privileges—like limited liability, patents, and ineffective regulations—to level the playing field.
 * And [[File:Protect.png]] protection of local industries and farmers.

AgSocDem supports locally-owned businesses,  worker-owned enterprises (which are usually small-scale),  collective farms, and  smallholdings. He sees small-scale producers as more innovative, accountable, greener, and a stepping stone towards  autonomous local communities. Loans for entry-level farmers, tax incentives for agricultural co-ops, and discouraging land speculation also empowers rural areas.

However, in cases of natural monopoly and necessary economies of scale like electricity and aircraft manufacturing, AgSocDem usually supports state-owned enterprises (SOEs) or sovereign wealth funds (SWFs). Profits generated will go towards safety nets, infrastructure, education, and  subsidies for local entrepreneurs. A great example of this is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO)—a for-profit state-owned enterprise which sells alcohol in shops. LCBO's profits, ranging in the billions, go towards Ontario's provincial programs and functions. As of 2019 they sell hard liquor, wine, and beer.

AgSocDem also supports decentralized welfare programs and  regulatory agencies. Canada's Medicaid is a great example of the former—it is mandated and funded primarily by the federal government, but provincially and locally supplied. Most welfare programs in Denmark are coordinated and financed on the municipal level. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States is a regulatory agency; though having a federal office which sets minimum standards, the rest is handled by regional, state, and local offices with autonomy.

AgSocDem is culturally variable. In the West he's usually a civil libertarian; others are  progressive, seeing urban inequality as holding back positive scientific, medical, and technological advances. Followers tends to like  and a   protecting human rights. Many AgSocDem followers may see a strong central government as necessary for creating their ideal system. Others may champion achieving their reforms on the local or provincial level instead.

Summary of the tenants of Agrarian Social Democracy


 * Agrarian Social Democracy supports widespread ownership of the means of production, seeking to promote small businesses, worker co-ops, collective farms, and smallholdings while suppressing big enterprises and wealth inequality.
 * He favors the [[File:Bckchn.png]] municipalization and/or [[File:Statesoc.png]] nationalization of key sectors and industries; especially areas prone to natural monopoly, requiring large-scale production, or related to military production.
 * He wants to achieve economic decentralization through [[File:Anti-Elitism.png]] wealth caps, [[File:Trustbust.png]] anti-trust legislation, [[File:Markets.png]] pro-competition policies, and (sometimes) [[File:Protect.png]] protectionism; doing so lends itself to [[File:Urb.png]] political decentralization.
 * He also favors decentralized or local-level [[File:Welf.png]] welfare programs and [[File:Regulationism.png]] regulatory agencies to (a) ensure a minimum standard of living for all citizens and (b) to protect workers from abusive, exploitative predicaments.
 * And his followers typically despise [[File:Bankocracy.png]] central or fractional reserving banking, preferring community banks, credit unions, and fiscal policy over monetary policy.

  Distributist Social Democracy, clipped to DistSocDem, is an economically centre-left and culturally variable ideology which seeks widespread ownership of the means of production and a strong welfare state—combining  Social Democracy with  Distributism. Such an economic model is in sharp contrast to Social Democracy's common present-day manifestation, which is more neoliberal in character. It can also be seen as Social Distributism without the influence of  Fourth Theory.

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.

As a congresswoman, she has served on the grand committee, legal committee, environment committee, and has had congressional memberships on administration, futures, and finance committees.

As prime minister, she aimed to reform the Nordic Model to adapt to the environment, also opposing nuclear energy and having made alliances with environmentalists. It self-proclaims its values ​​being "freedom, equality and solidarity" and "joint and communal responsibility". A characteristic of his government would be its opposition to Russia and Putin, who even initially opposed NATO membership, later, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in which Finland became favorable to NATO membership, making the alliance sign an accession protocol, in addition to being pro-Zelenskyy and pro-improvement of the relationship with Estonia. Even though it claims to be left (center-left), Finland is still the most economically free country, with Denmark behind according to The Heritage Foundation.

There are controversies surrounding her, such as the actions regarding the pandemic, the low quality of the food benefit (among other things) and a video of a private party she attended, increasing opposition, especially from conservatives.

[[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy's birth in [[File:Cball-UK.png]] UK
The UK Labour Party was first formed on the 27th of February 1900 by the Labour Representation Committee (a pressure group that focused on workers' rights) and was initially socialist and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other  "socialist" political parties in Europe, the abolishment of private property was dropped from their party platform and they swiftly won elections after this. Clement Atlee was elected prime minister in 1945, just three years later his party created the NHS and oversaw mass nationalizations and the formation of a comprehensive welfare state.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus is the most left-leaning faction in the  Democratic Party. The founding CPC members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession and the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response in the early 1990s. On January 3, 1995, at a standing room only news conference on Capitol Hill, they were the first group inside Congress to chart a comprehensive legislative alternative to U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich and the Republican Contract with America. The CPC's ambitious agenda was framed as "The Progressive Promise: Fairness".

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 Enlightenment  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  Marxism–Leninism whenever they call him a "Social Fascist".

How to Draw
Socdem_flag.svg Drawing Social Democracy requires a few steps:


 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Color the ball with red.
 * 3) Draw a white rose on the bottom of the ball.
 * 4) Add the eyes, and you're done!
