Social Democracy

Social democracy is a political, social and economic philosophy within the socialist tradition. As an economic ideology and policy regime, it is described by academics as advocating economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal-democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy. The protocols and norms used to accomplish this involve a commitment to representative and participatory democracy, measures for income redistribution, regulation of the economy in the general interest, and social-welfare provisions. It has been described as the most common form of socialism on EarthMC as well as the reformist wing of democratic socialism.

It is parallel to Social Democracy in real life.

Social democracy seeks to humanize capitalism and create the conditions for it to lead to greater democratic, egalitarian, and solidaristic outcomes. It is characterized by a commitment to policies aimed at curbing inequality, eliminating oppression of underprivileged groups, and eradicating poverty—as well as support for universally accessible public services like care for the elderly, child care, education, health care, and workers' compensation. It often has strong connections with the labour movement and trade unions, being supportive of collective bargaining rights for workers and measures to extend decision-making beyond politics into the economic sphere in the form of co-determination—or even social ownership—for employees and stakeholders.
