Social Democracyball , often clipped to SocDemball , is an economically center-left ideology. It is usually culturally left, albeit not exclusively. It advocates for File:Welfare-icon.png strong welfare programs, unionization, with the addition of vast regulation to promote social justice. It is often confused with Democratic Socialismball, or sometimes socialism in general (which is largely seen as a US phenomenon in the modern day). Despite often being called a "socialist" by right-wing ideologies, Social Democracy is often excluded from File:Leftunity-icon.png leftist circles as well due to their support for merely reforming Capitalismball as an end-goal rather than abolishing it. Social Democracy finds that a lot of welfare programs and business regulations, when achieved through File:Left Reformism-icon.png reform rather than revolution, can lead to higher prosperity for the proletariat, rather than systems of File:Lfree-icon.png unregulated capitalism or Socialismball.

Welfarers[edit | edit source]
- File:Revisionist Marxism-icon.png Revisionist Marxism - - My father whom I love very much, although nowadays Marxism is too unpopular but his reformist ways let me chart my own path for the working people.
Frenemies[edit | edit source]
- File:Social Liberalism-icon.png Social Liberalism - We do a lot of coalitions, but I am still not a liberal.
- Democratic Socialism - Brother, we often work together for working people but his visions are pretty distorting and I think he needs the doctor.
- Left-Social Democracy - Kind of like my brother, but atleast you agree with me on multiple issues.
- Communism - Grandpa! But both electoralism and reformism are possible! And don't blame me for keeping Capitalism, i could get rid of him if the people agree too.
- File:Centrist Marxism-icon.png Centrist Marxism - I like the fact that you dislike revolutionism, but why aren't you reformist than? Pick a side!
