The Social Democratic Party had its roots in [[File:Bernst.png]] [[Reformist Marxism]] and was founded 1888 by [[Reformist Marxism|Victor Adler]] as Social Democratic Workers Party of Austria. After 1918 [[Austromarxism|Otto Bauer]] invented [[Austromarxism]] and the party followed a more communist direction as [[Reformist Marxism|Karl Renner]] supported Rosa Luxemburg and wanted Austria to join the [[Leninism|USSR]]. Between 1918 and 1933 the party only was part of one government but became popular in Vienna were the SPÖ seized power (Red Vienna). In 1923 the SPÖ founded the paramilitary [[Leninism|Republican Protection League]] (Republikanischer Schutzbund) and the party radicalized in the following years. After the civil war 1933 the SPÖ was forbidden and was in resistance against [[Austrofascism]] and [[Nazism]] (until 1945).

After 1945 Karl Renner reinvented the party as Socialist Party of Austria and created the [[File:AustroSocdem.png]] [[Corporatism|Sozialpartnerschaft]] together with the [[Conservatism|ÖVP]] to prevent any civil wars in the future. In the 1970s the party gained absolute power in government under [[File:Kreisky.png]] [[Bundism|Bruno Kreisky]]. In the 1990s and early 2000s the SPÖ followed the [[Third Way]] direction under [[Corporatism|Franz Vranitzky]] (who renamed the party into Social Democratic Party of Austria), [[Third Way|Victor Klima]] and [[Third Way|Alfred Gusenbauer]]. Since the late 2000s the party is following a more left direction as Heinz Fischer called [[National Communism|Fidel Castro]] one of the greatest politicians of the 20th and 21st century and [[Democratic Socialism|Andreas Schieder]] said that the [[Democratic Confederalism|PKK]] is not a terrorist group. The only exception is [[Conservative Socialism|Hans-Peter Doskozil]] in Burgenland who follows a more nationalistic and welfare chauvenist direction.<br>
<br>
The party is very strong in Vienna; from 1918 to 1933 and since 1945 all mayors of Vienna were SPÖ-members.

In 2023 the dispute of the 3 wings of the party, the [[Social Liberalism|left-liberal wing]] under [[Corporatism|Pamela Rendi-Wagner]], the [[Social Democracy#Social Nationalism|conservative wing]] under [[Welfare Chauvinism|Hans-Peter Doskozil]] and the [[Reformist Marxism|marxist wing]] under [[Democratic Socialism|Andreas Babler]], escalated and all 3 are fighting for the leadership of the party.

The SPÖ section Der Funke (The Spart) is member of the [[Trotskyism|International Marxist Tendency (IMT)]].

The Liesinger Partie (Liesinger Party), named after a district of Vienna, is a circle wìthin the SPÖ which promotes [[Corporatism]] and to some extend [[Left-Wing Populism]]. It is often falsely seen as the right-wing of the party. The Liesinger Partie is economically centrist to center-left, culturally center-left and semi-authoritarian. It promotes a  class collaboration 
instead of a class war.

The Liesinger Partie held the power in the party from 2008 to 2023 and is still in power in Vienna. In 2008 [[Corporatism|Werner Faymann]] together with Doris Bures, Christian Deutsch and Josef Ostermayer seized power in the SPÖ and ended the neoliberal influenced course of [[Third Way|Victor Klima]] and [[Third Way|Alfred Gusenbauer]] and also set an end to the partnership with the [[Classical Liberalism|Liberal Forum]]. Faymann became chancellor and formed a coalition with the [[Conservatism|ÖVP]]. In 2014 they installed [[Left-Wing Populism|Michael Ludwig]] as the successor of Viennas mayor [[Social Democracy|Michael Häupl]]. In 2023 the Liesinger Parte lost power after [[Welfare Chauvinism|Hans-Peter Doskozil]] and [[Democratic Socialism|Andreas Babler]] won a member vote against [[Corporatism|Pamela Rendi-Wagner]].

The Swedish Social Democratic Party had its roots in [[File:Bernst.png]] [[Reformist Marxism]], like most social democratic parties in Europe. They were in and out of governments from 1917 to 1936, when they stayed in governance for just under 40 years, sometimes with a coalition sometimes with a genuine majority. The Swedish Social Democratic Party implemented a robust social safety net and nationalized several important industries, such as establishing a state-owned company for certain types of alcohol! However, the Swedish Social Democrats long term in office would come to an end in 1991 when [[File:ModPartyicon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|Carl Bildt]] was elected PM after severe political controversy emerged over the [[File:Marketsoc.png]] [[Market Socialism|Rudolf-Meidner plan]] which saw vast privatisations of state industries and monopiles, a repeal of the Rudolf-Meidner plan and has been a shadow over the [[File:SwedenSocDem.png]] SAP ever since.

'''Danish Social Democracy''' (In Danish: Socialdemokratiet) represents the [[File:Socdem.png]] social democratic political party in Denmark. Under the leadership of Mette Frederiksen, the party became increasingly skeptical of mass immigration from Islamic countries, [[File:World.png]] globalization, and other [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[Neoliberalism|neoliberal]] policies that have been adopted under the social democratic parties in Europe that have caused their political performance to decline due to the abandoning of social democratic values for the rise of [[File:Social Neoliberalism.png]] [[Third Way|third-way neoliberalism]]. It has been described as [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] [[Welfare Chauvinism|welfare chauvinist]].

[[File:DK.png]] '''Democratic Coalition (DK)''' is a [[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism|progressive]], [[File:Soclib.png]] [[Social Liberalism|social liberal]], [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social democratic]], [[File:Cball-EU.png]] pro-European party in Hungary in founded October 22, 2011. It was formed by politicians leaving the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) under the leadership of former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány and the intellectual milieu surrounding them. It defines itself as a westernised, bourgeois center-left party. His political goals are summarised in the Manifesto of the Republic and in the political analysis entitled "Let us dare to be patriots".

Party leader and former Prime Minister of Hungary Ferenc Gyurcsány is a supporter of [[File:3way.png]] [[Third Way|Third Way]] politics. The party platform has adopted elements of social liberalism and strongly pro-European themes. During the 2019 European Parliament election campaign, the EP list leader of the Democratic Coalition, Klára Dobrev, announced to the press that her party would seek to build a United States of Europe during her mandate, thus becoming a [[File:European Federalism.png]] [[European Federalism|European federalist]]. During the campaign, DK included a number of center-left proposals in its more social democratic platform, including tackling child poverty, an EU-wide minimum pension, an EU minimum wage, a new EU tax on multinational corporations and EU funds for affordable housing.

In the 2014 European election, DK received 9.75% of the vote, and had two MEPs returned. On 26 May 2014, Csaba Molnar announced that DK had applied to join the [[File:S%26D.png]] Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. In October 2022, the party became an associate member of the Party of European Socialists.

* [[File:SLD.png]] '''Democratic Left Alliance (SLD)''' - a Polish center-left political party, founded on April 15 1999 by activists of most of the organizations included in the SLD coalition. This coalition was centered around the Social Democracy of the Republic of Poland party and was established in 1991.

In the years 1993–1997, the SLD coalition formed a majority government with the [[File:PSL.png]] [[Agrarianism|Polish People's Party]], and its prime ministers were  Józef Oleksy (1995–1996) and Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz (1996–1997). The SLD party formed the government in the years 2001–2005 (until 2003, majority government, coalition with PSL and Labor Union; from 2003, minority government with some left-wing parties). The prime ministers appointed by the party were Leszek Miller (2001–2004) and [[File:Liberalsoc.png]] Marek Belka (2004–2005). In the years 1995–2005, [[File:Kwaśniecki.png]] Aleksander Kwaśniewski, from the SLD coalition, served as the President of the Republic of Poland.

Since 2005, SLD has been in the opposition (in the parliamentary opposition until 2015 and since 2019, and in the extra-parliamentary opposition in 2015–2019). The Democratic Left Alliance was a member of, among others, Party of European Socialists, he also belonged to the Socialist International. In the European Parliament he was a member of the [[File:S%26D.png]] Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. The party's ideology came from the social democratic trend.

Due to plans to merge with Wiosna, SLD formally adopted the name [[File:Lewica.png]] Nowa Lewica, registered on January 27, 2020. The party's abbreviation was not changed by the court at that time. On June 11, 2021, as a result of the dissolution of [[File:Biedroń.png]] [[Progressivism|Wiosna]] and its activists' declaration of joining the New Left, the two groups actually merged. On July 17, 2021, the SLD and Wiosna factions were formally established within the New Left. A congress was held on October 9, 2021, which sealed the process of combining both environments through the parity election of authorities.

*[[File:Marin.png]] '''Sanna Marin''' is a Finnish politician, congresswoman, former Minister of Transport and Communications and the Prime Minister of Finland. As a congresswoman, she has served on the grand committee, legal committee, and environment committee, and has had congressional memberships on administration, futures, and finance committees.

As prime minister, she aimed to reform the Nordic Model to adapt to the environment, also opposing nuclear energy and having made alliances with environmentalists. It self-proclaims its values being "freedom, equality and solidarity" and "joint and communal responsibility". A characteristic of her government would be its opposition to Russia and Putin, who even initially opposed NATO membership, later, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in which Finland became favorable to NATO membership, making the alliance sign an accession protocol, in addition to being pro-Zelenskyy and pro-improvement of the relationship with Estonia. Even though it claims to be left (center-left), Finland is still the most economically free country, with Denmark behind according to The Heritage Foundation.

There are controversies surrounding her, such as the actions regarding the pandemic, the low quality of the food benefit (among other things) and a video of a private party she attended, increasing opposition, especially from the [[File:National Coalition Finland.png]] conservatives.

Debatably is because the Right-Wing [[File:Ruß-Rodina.png]] [[Welfare Chauvinism|Rodina]] was apart of the party until 2012 and it is considered Controlled Opposition and in 2021 the For Truth Party joined A Just Russia renaming it to A Just Russia - For Truth as of 2024 it is the third largest party only behind [[File:Putin.png]] [[Authoritarian Conservatism|United Russia]] and the [[File:Zyu.png]] [[Conservative Socialism|CPRF]] and having more seats then the [[File:Zhirinovsky.png]] [[Black Hundredism|LDPR]].

Largest Social Democratic party in Russia, who has closer positions to Western Social Democrats and supports LGBT+ rights, is [[File:Yabl.png]] Yabloko, created by Grigory Yavlinsky.

The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (In Spanish, Partido Socialista Obrero Español) is a [[File:CLeft.png]] Center-Left party founded in 1879 by [[File:Ormarxf.png]] Pablo Iglesias Posse, it's the oldest political party in Spain's history. During the [[File:Cball-2Spainrepub.png]] Republican Era of Spain, PSOE was part of two governments, the first one being the 1931-1933 Spanish government led by [[File:Cball-2Spainrepub.png]] Manuel Azaña and from 1936-1939 also led by Azaña. During the Spanish Civil War, PSOE would join the [[File:Antifa.png]] Popular Front against [[File:Franco-alt.png]] Franco and the Falangist [[File:Flang.png]]. After the subsequent victory of the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, the PSOE would be exiled to Argentina, France and Mexico for 38 years, when in 1977 they would come back to Spain after the Death of Franco in 1975.

Since the 1977 Spanish General Elections, PSOE has won 9 out of 16 elections, the most of any party. PSOE's history after 1977 is split into three eras.

[[File:SrX.png]] González's Leadership - 1982-1996 [[File:FelipGonzal.png]]

<blockquote>''See Main Article: [[File:Socauth.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism]]''</blockquote>

Felipe González (Born on the 5th of March 1942) was Prime Minister of Spain from 1982 till 1996 and PSOE Secretary-General from 1979 till 1997, when he resigned from politics altogether. He's known for his massive modernization of Spain, making Spain join NATO and the EEC, his handling of the Basque Conflict and his huge social and economic reforms.
During the 90s González's popularity would decrease after the GAL scandal, which suggested that PSOE had involvement in funding GAL in eliminating ETA and corruption scandals caused González to lose the 1996 Spanish General Elections to the center-right People's Party.

=====[[File:Cball-UK.png]] United Kingdom [[File:UKLab.png]]=====
The British Labour Party was first formed on the 27th of February 1900 by the Labour Representation Committee (a pressure group that focused on workers' rights) and was initially [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|"socialist"]] political parties in Europe, the abolishment of private property was dropped from their party platform and they swiftly won elections after this. [[File:ClementAttlee.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|Clement Atlee]] was elected prime minister in 1945, just three years later his party created the NHS and oversaw mass nationalizations and the formation of a comprehensive welfare state.

In the 90s, the concept of the "Third Way" was first thought up by [[File:Giddenism.png]] Anthony Gidden. Originally intended to be a rebranded version of [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]], as well as an alternative to traditional forms of [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]] and [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]]. The [[File:UKLab.png]] [[Social Democracy|Labour Party]], after 4 consecutive election losses to the [[File:Con-t.png]] [[Conservatism|Tory Party]], decided to adopt [[File:Giddenism.png]] Gidden's idea of the "Third Way" under the leadership of [[File:New Labourism.png]] Tony Blair and rebranded itself as "New Labour". Blair moved the party to the [[File:Rightunity-yellow.png]] right, embracing most of [[File:Thatcher.png]] [[Conservative Liberalism|Margaret Thatcher]]'s polices. Blair went on to beat the [[File:Con-t.png]] Tories in a landslide in 1997, being the first [[File:UKLab.png]] Labour leader to be PM in 18 years. After his involvement in the Iraq War in 2003, Blair's premiership became increasingly unpopular with the public. 

He resigned in 2007 and was replaced with [[File:Brownism.png]] Gordan Brown, who was nearly identical to Blair in policy but differed interpersonally. Brown lost in a landslide against the [[File:Con-t.png]] Tories under [[File:Cameronism.png]] [[Liberal Conservatism|David Cameron]] in 2010. His replacement, [[File:EdMiliband.png]] [[Third Way|Ed Miliband]] was slightly to the left of him and Blair, but still compromised on issues like austerity and famously immigration where he took a stance similar to Cameron's Muscular Liberalism. 

In 2015, [[File:Corbynism-ball.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|Jeremy Corbyn]] was elected leader of the [[File:UKLab.png]] Labour Party and his victory was seen as a rejection of the [[File:New Labourism.png]] New Labour direction and the party finally moving back to the [[File:Leftunity.png]] left. Corbyn rid Labour of most of its Third Way influence but due to Corbyn's silence on Anti Semitism within the Labour Party following a report from the European Court of Human Rights. Corbyn was ousted by [[File:Starmer.png]] [[Labour Zionism|Keir Starmer]] who, although praised Corbyn for making Labour the party of Anti Austerity, condemned Corbyn and removed many Corbynites from the party leading to Starmer being accused by the Left wing of Labour to be third way however he is much further left than Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and was a member of Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet for years. Starmer has taken a more fiscally responsible and business friendly approach than Corbyn did, which does not help his perceived association with New Labour, however with his "securonomics" he supports increasing the role of government to help the unfortunate and as the Shadow Brexit Secretary he called for a second referendum on leaving the European Union however now as Labour leader has distanced himself from Europe.
=====[[File:Cball-US.png]] [[File:USAProg.png]] United States=====
The Social Democrats USA (SDUSA) was an organization established in 1972 as the successor to the Socialist Party of America (SPA). It was founded by moderate socialists and social democrats who took a hardline anti-communist stance throughout the remainder of the Cold War. Many SDUSA members such as Penn Kemble and Bayard Rustin were associated with [[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]]. The SDUSA today is nearly defunct, about to be overtaken by [[File:Dsa.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)]] which is more left-wing due to [[File:Dsa.png]] Michael Harrington, who in 1972 announced that he favored an immediate pull-out of American forces from Vietnam and coined the term "neoconservative". After losing all votes at the 1972 Harrington resigned in 1973 to form the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, the forerunner of DSA.

The [[File:Dem-CPC.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|Congressional Progressive Caucus]] is the most left-leaning faction in the [[File:Demcr.png]] [[Big Tent Liberalism|Democratic Party]]. The founding CPC members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession and the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response in the early 1990s. On January 3, 1995, at a standing room only news conference on Capitol Hill, they were the first group inside Congress to chart a comprehensive legislative alternative to U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich and the Republican Contract with America. The CPC's ambitious agenda was framed as "The Progressive Promise: Fairness".

The [[File:NDP icon.png]] '''New Democratic Party of Canada''' is a center-left to left-wing political party that advocates for social democracy and progressive policies. Its ideology is rooted in a mix of democratic socialism, labor rights, and progressive social justice initiatives. It was formed in 1961 by the [[File:CCFcanada.png]] [[Market Socialism|Co-operative Commonwealth Federation]], New Party and the Canadian Labor Congress.

Thoroghout its history NDP has maintaned a modest 3-4th place in the Canadian Parliament, with their highest ever result being in 2011, when under the leadership of [[File:JackLayton.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|Jack Layton]] they gained 103 seats and became the official opposition.

NDP supports a strong welfare state with universal healthcare, affordable housing, and public services, aims to end systemic discrimination in police, education, and healthcare; advocates for stronger corporate regulations to limit lobbying and political influence: support for diplomacy over military intervention among many other things.
