Social Democracy

ˈsō-shəl ˌdeməˈkrasē

A political system that balances capitalism with a strong commitment to social justice and welfare. It aims to regulate the market economy to prevent exploitation, reduce inequality, and guarantee fundamental rights like universal healthcare, education, and workers' protections. It believes democracy isn't just about voting but also about ensuring everyone has the real means to participate in society. Social Democracy tries to create a fairer society without dismantling capitalism entirely, promoting gradual reform over revolution.

You're a threat to everyone tho.

Journalist: Are you a Communist?

Olof Palme: No, I am a Social Democrat.

Journalist: Are you a Socialist?

Olof Palme: Again, I am a Social Democrat.

Journalist: Soo, a Capitalist?

Olof Palme: Dumbass, I am apart of Social Democracy, I am in a Social Democratic party, and that means I am a Social Democrat.

Democracy

Lack of democracy doesn't just affect white people. Ahmaud Arbery was a casualty of a shortage of democracy, that kind of thing happens when people value safety over personal freedom (it's the opposite of safe, even if it seems like a good idea at first, after all Hitler spoke of peace and love winning before he took over Germany). A guy got shot because some other guys thought he had no right for them not to feel safe. When people value safety over personal freedom, rights disappear. It works the same way with masks and vaccines, and an overpoliced country where unarmed people are getting killed frequently for no good reason.

Democracy is still around, but people aren't fighting for it, many are still accepting any restrictions to their freedom and democracy a few people can think up to put on their behavior and movement.

Democracy

Its interesting what people have called democracy since 2020. Trying to force everybody to wear a mask anywhere they go is not democracy, its a nearly totalitarian government. People that think Biden is democracy are not as different from people that think Trump is democracy as they may think. Neither Biden nor Trump gives a fuck about them, and they'll never really see that, because they still think Biden is on a different side than Trump. Its two sides of the exact same coin, Democrat and Republican.

The reality of democracy is any rights you're not fighting for, you don't have. As long as you never wake up, the people calling themselves the government will take right after right away as long as nobody is governing them, reminding them that they are of the people, for the people (and not over the people), and the same is true of everyone else.
