Editing Social Democracy (section)

==Variants==
===Internal conflicts in ideology===
<span class="anchor" id="Left-Social_Democracy"></span>'''{{PCBA|Left-Social Democracy}}''' is a variant of social democracy which often expresses advocacy for [[File:Protect.png]] [[Protectionism|protectionism]] or [[File:EconNat.png]] economic nationalism, [[File:Lpop.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|left-wing populism]], a mixed economy (though some support full on [[File:Marketsoc.png]] [[Market Socialism|market socialist]] economics), and [[File:SocStateCap.png]] [[State Capitalism|state guidance of the economy]]. British left-social democrats (the [[File:UKLab.png]] Labour Party until the 1950s more specifically) espoused [[File:Imp.png]] imperialism, seeing the [[File:BritishEmpire.png]] Empire as the best way to spread their economic model globally. A lot of the social democrats after World War II would adopt [[File:Keynes.png]] [[Keynesian School|Keynesian economics]] to their policy prescriptions, seeing demand-side economics as most compatible with their ideals of high unionization and [[File:Welf.png]] welfarism. Something which divides left-social democrats is the willingness to transition the economy out of [[File:Cap.png]] capitalism, as many stick true to their [[File:Anticap.png]] anti-capitalist roots. All [[File:ClassSocDem.png]] [[Classical Social Democracy|classical social democrats]] would fall under this category. Most all '''Left-Social Democrats''' support some level of [[File:WPD.png]] [[Socialism|Workplace Democracy]] whether it is implemented partially under a capitalist organization or completely under a market socialist organization of the economy.

<span class="anchor" id="Right-Social_Democracy"></span>'''{{PCBA|Right-Social Democracy}}''' is the right-wing variant of [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy. The ideology believes that equality and social justice are valid aspirational goals, but favor market-based means to achieve them. Right-social democrats see the government’s role in the economy as a [[File:RegCap.png]] [[Regulationism|regulator]] rather than an active [[File:Dirigisme.png]] [[State Capitalism|actor]]. They express concerns with [[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|balanced budgets]] and are usually supportive of [[File:Globcap.png]] [[Globalism|free trade]]. Both left and right-social democrats support the establishment of a robust [[File:Welf.png]] [[Welfarism|welfare state]]. Most right-social democrats follow the [[File:3way.png]] [[Third Way]], which is a compromise between [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] neoliberalism and the [[File:Soccap.png]] [[Social Capitalism|social market economy]]; although many [[File:Cdem.png]] [[Christian Democracy|Christian Democratic]] parties can be described as right-socdems. The best examples of Right-Social Democracy are the [[File:Cball-UK.png]] United Kingdom under [[File:TonyBlair.png]] [[Third Way|Tony Blair]] and [[File:Thailand.png]] Thailand under [[File:Thaksin.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Thaksin Shinawatra]].
===Factions in Ideology===
<span class="anchor" id="Conservative_Social_Democracy"></span>'''Conservative Social Democracy''' is <s>[[file:Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism 2: Electric Boogaloo</s> a form of social democracy that believes in moderation and compromise in order to guide their country. It is different, though similar on the bottom line, to [[File:Patcon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism]] as paternalistic conservativism justifies welfare by the concept of [[File:Paternalism.png]] [[Paternalism]]- in that the state should protect and assist the less fortunate in society; whereas Conservative Social Democracy justifies welfare as a tool for empowering trade unions and the working class.

===Regional Tendencies===
====[[File:USAProg.png]] Vermontese Progressivism====
Vermontese Progressivism is based off of the beliefs of the regional [[File:USAProg.png]] Vermont Progressive Party, a left-wing political party active in the U.S. State of Vermont. On social issues it advocates for social justice, the [[File:AntiRacism.png]] end of systemic racism, [[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism|gender equality]], [[File:Gay.png]] LGBT rights, disabled rights, easier immigration, and an open and inclusive society. As for economics, it supports left-wing policies such as progressive taxation, [[File:Welf.png]] universal healthcare, free education, [[File:Georgist.png]] housing for all, and [[File:Cooperative Socialism.png]] small, local cooperatives as opposed to multinational corporations. It also supports [[File:Envi.png]] combatting climate change, including a transition to renewable energy. As for foreign policy, it supports diplomacy and pacifism, and [[File:Antiimp.png]] opposes interventionism.
