    Right and wrong. Social democracy is not "Traditional" Socialism, but it is still a socialist ideology.

    Socialism (play /?so??????zm?/) is an economic system in which the means of production are publicly or commonly owned and controlled cooperatively, or a political philosophy advocating such a system.

    PLEASE explain to me how social democracy fits this.

    That didnt explain how social democracy fits the definition.

    EDIT: infact it argues for my side

    The modern social democratic movement has abandoned the goal of achieving a socialist economy, and instead advocates for social reforms to improve capitalism, such as a welfare state and unemployment benefits. It is best demonstrated by the economic format which has been used in Sweden, Denmark, Norway & Finland in the past few decades.[56] This approach been called the Nordic model.

    Are you think for yourself or do I have connect even the simplest of dots????

    Social Democracy is a Social ideology and there fore it is "sub ideology" inside socialism. It differs from "traditional" socialism, but is still part of one big ideology

    It doesn't fit the definition of socialism, there’s no "traditional" socialism, there’s socialism. It even says Social Democrats have abandoned socialism.

    Both, wrong. Socialism is one big group of ideology that some how connects many theories together under one banner. This is socialism. Social Democrats are one in many of them, and they have not abandoned socialism, just given up attempt to make Socialist economy

    I cannot make this any more clear.

    As I recall the primary difference between the two is that socialism is dumb and evil, while social democracy is just dumb.

    Know what, you are clearly ignorant to recognize even the simplest of well known standards and obviously unable to even try to look into it yourself. If anyone else tries to explain something to you, I'll save them their time and trouble by telling them that you wont see it even if you put all god damn evidence before your eyes.

    I don't think I would want to support a Government that does not treat every one rich or poor Fairly.
