      It is not. Social Democracy is a subsection inside the umbrella of Liberalism.

          I’m aware of what Social Democracy is. It’s an increase in Social Safety Nets within the framework of Capitalism, therefore it is a Capitalist ideology, and falls under the umbrella of Liberalism.

          The division on whether social democracy is a socialist movement or not pretty much coincides with the division between reform and revolution as means to attain socialism.

              Yeah… Still, considering only my self interest I am really glad I am living in a social democracy opposed to many of the other hellscapes forged by capitalism.

              Social democracy gets some things right, for all its faults.
