	Social democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social democracy is a political ideology that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from supporters of Marxism.
		Modern social democracy emphasises a program of gradual legislative reform of the capitalist system in order to make it more equitable and humane, while the theoretical end goal of building a socialist society is either completely forgotten or redefined in a pro-capitalist way.
		Social democrats usually retort by arguing that their policies are in fact enhancing individual rights, by raising the standard of living of the vast majority of the population and eliminating the threat of extreme poverty.

	Social democracy in the unfinished global revolution
		Social democracy became the dominant political form of labour in the period in which, on the one hand, industrial capitalism spread across western Europe and north America, and on the other, the system of European empires achieved its greatest worldwide extent, especially in Asia and Africa.
		Social democratic parties, and the broader social movements of the working class in which they were embedded, were from the start caught up in the synthesis of these two powerful social forces.
		That social democracy’s future was closely linked to that of democracy in general, on the one hand, and the configurations of power in the inter-state system, on the other, is clear from its dramatic revival in the 1940s and 1950s.

	Civil Society Needs to Build a Social Movement - NGOs - Global policy Forum
		The most significant social movement alliance was the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) alliance that was formed, as its name suggests, to drive for democratic constitutional reform in an increasingly oppressive State environment.
		This social movement was then overrun by the shift toward a desire for a less idealistic but pragmatic social movement that began as the National Working People's Convention (NWPC) that sought the formation of a mass-based, non-violent opposition political party to challenge the ruling Zanu PF.
		The way forward in order for there to be a construction of an ostensible social movement that will attempt to bring democracy to citizens' lives and food on their tables, has to be the ability of the various civic society organisations to agree to disagree.

	The Worker (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In renouncing the general aims of the movement, liberalism and social democracy deny that the workers are a "class-for-themselves," a class with its own mission and own political agenda.
		Social democracy and liberalism continually seek to subordinate the workers' movement to the politics of the bourgeoisie.

		Social democratic leaders - from Rome to Madrid, Paris, Stockholm and Berlin - have had to deal with the practical problems posed for them by an electoral challenge on their left which shows few signs of dissipating and may, rather, grow.
		Thus, while there is no indication that these parties will overtake social democracy at the national polls in the present phase of European politics, they have made breakthroughs - sufficient to make them factors in mainstream politics, and sources of pressure from the left on the majority parties of their respective labour movements.
		This division of the communist movement in the period of the collapse of the socialist countries constituted the first phase in the consolidation of the new European left.

		Social Democracy, however, has taken up its post in the country and in parliament as, simultaneously, the cause and effect of this fate of the bourgeoisie.

	Lenin: A Retrograde Trend in Russian Social-Democracy
		It was the result of the great historical fact that in the nineties two profound social movements converged in Russia: one, a spontaneous movement, a popular movement within the working class, the other, the movement of social thought in the direction of the theory of Marx and Engels, towards the theory of Social-Democracy.
		To reduce the entire movement to the interests of the moment means to speculate on the backward condition of the workers, means to cater to their worst inclinations.
		It means artificially to break the link between the working-class movement and socialism, between the fully defined political strivings of the advanced workers and the spontaneous manifestations of protest on the part of the masses.
