	Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Democracy is often implemented as a form of government in which policy is decided by the preference of the majority in a decision-making process, usually elections or referenda, open to all or most citizens.
		In modern democracies, the territory is the nation-state, and since this corresponds (in theory) with the homeland of the nation, the demos and the reach of the democratic process neatly coincide.
		Nevertheless, some supporters of democracy claim that statistical research shows that the fall of Communism and the increase in the number of democratic states were accompanied by a sudden and dramatic decline in total warfare, interstate wars, ethnic wars, revolutionary wars, and the number of refugees and displaced persons [3].

	Campaign for Social Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Campaign for Social Democracy was a minor political party operating in the United Kingdom in the 1970s.
		He formed the Campaign for Social Democracy as an attempt to build a radical non-doctrinaire social democratic movement, and at the February 1974 general election they stood four candidates against leading Labour left-wingers (including Tony Benn).
		All were unsuccessful (the highest polling only 2.4% of the vote in their constituency), and the campaign was wound up when the Labour Party won the February general election, making a split in the Labour Party less likely.

	WorldNetDaily: Defining 'social democracy'
		Social Democrats in both political parties are transforming America from a system of limited government, empowered by the consent of the people, to a social democracy in which the government is the supreme arbiter and enforcer of the redistribution of wealth, and the dictator of socially acceptable behavior.
		The socialists are winning, not because the people have debated, considered and voted to become a social democracy, but because the people have not resisted the socialist initiatives.
		In fact, the very people who would violently oppose changing our form of government to a social democracy often support socialist initiatives because they are carefully labeled "smart growth," "sustainable development," "comprehensive land-use planning," "School to Work," "campaign reform," and on and on and on.

	European Social Forum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But in fact the European Social Forum, which occuped the historical Fortezza da Basso and other conference buildings with its 60.000 delegates didn't provoke any accident and it ended with a huge demonstration against the war which saw the partecipation of 1.000.000 people according to the organizators.
		Some anarchist groups organised a rival event in the city, at the same time, while a women's forum was held in the days preceding the social forum, in order to counteract the perceived under representation of women at the first ESF it is claimed that over 3,000 women attend.
		Hence, many participants in the local social forums of the UK, for instance the London Social Forum, feel that the organisers' approach is too top-down and are instead organising "horizontally" organised fringe events.

	Democracy: A Social Power Analysis
		Democracy is best defined as a society in which all social power is held by or is effectively responsible to the people over whom it is exercised.
		Democracy is indivisible; it is a condition of the whole society.
		Democracy won't end humanity's history of conflict, but it can provide the institutional framework in which conflicts are settled nonviolently and in which concentrations of irresponsible power are consciously prevented before they can become dangerous.

		Social democracy can complement and even strengthen capitalism by helping maintain the framework of rules and obligations that encourage the market to operate with efficiency, vigor, fairness, legitimacy and the fullest possible participation of our citizens.
		Social democrats must help revive interest in and understanding of the labor movement in the broader public, and encourage support for those measures that can help unions find new strength in the changing circumstances of a new century.
		Social democracy is an internationalist tradition, with entrée to labor and political communities abroad that are vulnerable to the temptations of the false left and to distorted notions about America.

		The answers to the current failure of both the labour movement and social democracy to effectively pose an alternative to capitalism, at this moment in history, is rooted in their origins, actions and goals.
		Social Democracy cannot repair capitalism, it cannot make it fairer, because capitalism is not interested in fairness any longer.
		Social democrats have abandoned any idea of democratic transformation of the state because becoming elected and governing is more important than changing the system.
