Social Democracy

Social Democracy, often clipped to SocDem (or SuccDem by more leftist ideologies), is an economically center-left, culturally left-wing, and civically moderate, though usually leaning libertarian, ideologyball. 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.
