You are simply stupid. No other explanation works. Here. You won't believe it, but you have been put on the spot.
Social Democracy is an ideology which believes in socialism however views reform rather than revolution as the best way to achieve its goals. It suggests that social inequalities can be addressed by an enhanced level of state intervention within the existing structure of the capitalist economic system. The influence of social democracy was increased after 1945 when capitalism was seen to be bringing many benefits to working-class people (such as a rising standard of living and social mobility) in a number of countries that in turn tended to reduce the hostility between the social classes.
Socialism is a political and economical theory or system of social organization based on collective ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange. Socialist ideas arose in the 19th Century in reaction to the exploitive and brutal nature capitalism imposed on people. Socialists seek a society in which cooperation and fraternity replace the divisions based on class lines that characterizes capitalist societies.
• Early socialists suggested that the interests of capital and labour are natural opposed and that the ownership of the means of production by small groups of producers based upon the spirit of cooperation should be the basis of society. Socialism strongly supports the ideals of democracy; however, some believe that genuine democracy is harmed by the existence of capitalism and the economic inequality that goes with it.
• Amongst socialists there is a disagreement onto how to achieve their goals. One side gives preference to the idea that a revolution is needed whereby capitalism is abolished and replaced with a socialist society. The other side ( known as social democracy ) supports the idea of a gradual movement towards socialism through reform of the current capitalist society.
That's your response? Good job, you've done NOTHING to disprove the point of my O.P., which I've stated numerous times now, it wasn't a critique on the socialist structure, but how it's killed more people than anything else.
But of you want collectivism, and wealth redistribution, be my guest. If fact, why don't you go head and donate your whole check to the federal government, or the Chi-coms....
Congratulations, you know how to use dictionary.com lol, you apparently need to since you're illiterate and just another dolt lefty I won't take seriously
Your plight is that you have mislabeled your OP, moron. You have provided no statistics that are verifiable. If you are going to that path of stupidity, without a doubt, my religion, Christianity, has killed far more than communism and fascism and imperialism together.
Go study how to create a thesis, moron, and then come back with one that makes sense.
Again illiterate one, mass murders thru decades by an ideology put into practice definitely works as plight. Get back on dictionary.com dude.
