You believe the social democrats changed their stripes?Social democracy, political ideology that originally advocated a peaceful evolutionary transition of society from capitalism to socialism using established political processes.
social democracy
Somebody needs to suck my smart dick.
I have no doubt that your little head is smarter than your big head. As far as sucking it. I don’t need to floss right now.
But to help you out, you need to read the ENTIRE article you linked to. Dumbass.
After World War II, social democratic parties came to power in several nations of western Europe—e.g., West Germany, Sweden, and Great Britain (in the Labour Party)—and laid the foundations for modern European social welfare programs. With its ascendancy, social democracy changed gradually, most notably in West Germany. These changes generally reflected a moderation of the 19th-century socialist doctrine of wholesale nationalization of business and industry. Although the principles of the various social democratic parties began to diverge somewhat, certain common fundamental principles emerged. In addition to abandoning violence and revolution as tools of social change, social democracy took a stand in opposition to totalitarianism. The Marxist view of democracy as a “bourgeois” facade for class rule was abandoned, and democracy was proclaimed essential for socialist ideals. Increasingly, social democracy adopted the goal of state regulation of business and industry as sufficient to further economic growth and equitable income.
Now, regulation is not control. Regulation is minimum standards for a product. You know, keeping lead paint off of Children’s toys. Things like that. Idiot.
So Social Democracy may have started out one way, but it has evolved and adapted to the real world. Like the Liberatarian party. They used to be in favor of National Ideals, but now they are just another group advocating Globalist propaganda.
Commies NEVER try to hide their true nature.
You're a naive little twat.
Communists don’t, which is why they detest Social Democrats.
Liberals, like me, find police abuses to be an abomination. We find them intolerable. By Georgia standards, I’m fairly Left Wing. That standard is not universal however.
You ignored every point I made, and resorted to silly name calling. Which of course proves that you have nothing but the most shallow understanding of anything you are ranting about. I’m presuming your little head is not well educated.
Social Democracies do regulate corporations, but they do not control them. Breaking up monopolies has been an American Past time forever. One of the most Conservative Presidents of the 20th Century was Theodore Roosevelt, and he was busting Monopolies like it was a competitive sport. That is Government Regulation. Stimulating competition by ending monopolistic empires. The Robber Barons of the previous Century.
Theodore Roosevelt was chomping at the bit to go to war against the Germans when World War One broke out. He insulted President Wilson regularly for not going to war.
Now, stimulating competition is good for the consumer, look at the break up of Ma Bell if you need more proof. That is regulation. That is not control. History has clearly shown that Government Controlled Corporations always fail. We have hundreds of examples. The British Government stepped in to save the auto industry and created the British Leland group. It hemorrhaged money. It couldn’t break even if they robbed a bank.
Venezuela has state owned oil company, and can’t turn a profit to save their lives. I could go on, and on, and on. But why bother? You’re fixated on your silly definition, and even when your link supports my position, you dance away declaring victory.
I’m assuming that the nurse is going to come an give you your afternoon sedative now, so have a nice Thanksgiving. Remember, you are supposed to eat the turkey, with the big head, not the little one.
