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.

Socially Decline

Social decline, let’s say it’s spring break. A whole week you can spend chilling with your friends. You cant see your friends. One’s phone broke, you don’t know the other’s phone number, etc. You’re online friends are doing chores, on the plane, perhaps playing with their sibling, or you ran out of ideas to talk to them about.. but you still wanna talk to someone, yet you can’t. So you just play games and eat by yourself all day and do anything to keep yourself busy. You are socially declining and are turning into a hobbit.
Person 1: “Man, spring break was so fun!”
Person 2: “Yeah, I got a little bored though.”
Person 3: “i ate and slept and played video games all day. i was so socially declined.”
