	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 is a political ideology emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from supporters of Marxism who believed that the transition to a socialist society could be achieved through democratic evolutionary rather than revolutionary means.
		Many have claimed that the present leadership of the social democratic movement have betrayed social democratic principles; to which modernizing social democrats counter that their 'new' social democracy is an adaptation of those historic principles to the reality of the modern world.
		Right-wingers typically argue that social democratic systems are too restrictive on their version of individual rights, and that individual choice is not as great in systems that provide state-run schools, health care, child care and other services.

	WorldNetDaily: Defining 'social democracy' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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.

	Social Democracy and Parliamentarism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		After all, Social Democracy’s real nature, its historical calling, is to impart to the proletariat a clear consciousness of the social and political motive forces of bourgeois development, both as a whole and in all their details.
		Social Democracy has an easy time of it vis-à-vis the reactionary majority, since the party is the sole consistent and reliable advocate of the interests of the people’s prosperity and of progress in all areas of public life.
		As Social Democracy develops and grows stronger, it becomes increasingly necessary, especially in parliament, that it is not submerged in individual questions of daily life and thus only carries on political opposition.

		Since the end of the cold war and the apparent triumph of neo-liberal globalisation, the prospects for social democracy appear to have been transformed in complex ways.

		His latest essay, Live Long and Prosper: A Program of Technoprogressive Social Democracy, is a challenging foray into what will be, if not the key defining question of the early 21st century, the issue that will underlie our collective responses to the myriad challenges we will face in the years and decades to come.
		Logistical difficulties aside, it's a big jump from representative democracy to active participation in a 'to each person a vote' (on issues, not politicians) democracy that requires willingness and maturity of each individual to share the responsibility of thoughtful, considered governance and accept the decisions of the majority rule (and potential inconsistencies between policy decisions).
		Democracy takes many forms, and the practical and institutional experiments implementing the democratic idea are proliferating to this day.

	Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: Social Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		We should guarantee a basic Social Security benefit of roughly half of pre-retirement after-tax income--a replacement rate for the median worker, counting state and local as well as federal taxes, of roughly 30 percent of pre-retirement pre-tax income.
		Currently, the Social Security Administration's actuaries have a set of assumptions about economic growth, interest rates, and equity returns that I believe are inappropriate, and make pre-funded systems look artificially good and pay-as-you-go systems look artificially bad.
		Such a system is, I think, best operated with a Social Security Board of Trustees with a fiduciary duty to maintain the long-run actuarial balance of the system, and the power to alter benefit levels (and, within limits, contribution rates) to achieve that long-run actuarial balance.

	Monetizing Envy and America’s Housing Bubble by Eric Englund
		The United States has devolved from a republic to a social democracy in which its citizens, for the most part, have become rude, lazy, stupid, and hedonistic (all characteristics of a people with high time preferences – refer to page 68 of Democracy: The God That Failed).
		However, these low rates are not sustainable in a social democracy which inherently is populated by people with high time preferences.
		For envy truly is the basis of democracy and thus can never provide a stable foundation for peaceful self-governance let alone the housing market.

	Two Tactics of Social-Democracy
		proletariat, which is fighting for democracy in front of all and at the head of all, must not for a single moment forget about the new antagonisms that are inherent in bourgeois democracy and about the new struggle.
		Whoever wants to reach Socialism by a different road, other than that of political democracy, will inevitably arrive at conclusions that are absurd and reactionary both in the economic and the political sense.
		In classifying the big social groups according to their political tendencies we can, without danger of serious error, identify revolutionary and republican democracy with the mass of the peasants -- of course, in the same sense and with the same reservations and implied conditions as we can identify the working class with Social-Democracy.
