  Social Democracy Versus Revolutionary Democratic Socialism
A key element of democratic socialism, as distinct from social democracy, is meaningful participation and control of daily life at work and in the community (workers’ and community self-management), with managers (where needed) elected by and responsible to workers and community members.
Social democratic parties have been distinguished from liberal capitalist parties primarily by their earlier identification with socialism, by the remaining symbols of this identification, by their current close association with the official unions, and by their willingness to tolerate left wings which are more explicitly socialist.
For example, the Socialist People’s Parties in Norway and Denmark — to the left of the major social democratic parties — are represented in their parliaments, with the Danish party achieving 10% of the seats in 1989.

 Off the Kuff: And here's that promised Democratic HB2 alternative
House Democrats countered Thursday with a school finance plan that they said would do more for homeowners and schools than a Republican-backed plan, but they did not detail how it would be funded.
Having an alternative would be nice, especially since it would get to be compared to the godawful mess the Republicans have proposed, but not strictly necessary, since after all, it's not like anything the Democrats propose would ever be brought up for debate, much less a vote.
The Democratic alternative is far more fair and I think there's a chance that it'll have a better chance once rural Republicans, whose constituents benefit more from the Democratic plan and who have expressed ambivalence towards the GOP plan, jump on board.
