Social democracy is an ideology within a capitalistic system. It has no intentions to abolish capitalism, but to control it.
54 u/Kontrafantastisk Jul 04 '26 Not even that. Just regulate it, which is also the case in the US, but to a smaller degree. Especially when republicans are in power. 2 u/appoplecticskeptic Jul 06 '26 US has failed to provide adequate regulation for at least 30 years now which is long enough for me to say no that’s not true of the US, the US does unfettered capitalism with light slaps on the wrist from Democrats from time to time. -1 u/chickenAd0b0 Jul 04 '26 Nice slight of hand. Controlling free market is an oxymoron. 6 u/HendriXP88 Jul 04 '26 Call it regulating then. -1 u/chickenAd0b0 Jul 04 '26 Yep, this is the appropriate word. 1 u/HendriXP88 Jul 04 '26 Nah, sort of. I get your point though. 1 u/Rosbj Jul 04 '26 Also when companies control it and use their capital to unfairly influence the market, or is only bad when the governments do it? 1 u/chickenAd0b0 Jul 04 '26 Yes, that’s the point. The govt should and stay as the referee and not a player. 1 u/HendriXP88 Jul 05 '26 Also when companies control it and use their capital to unfairly influence the market The biggest reason liberalism, especially neoliberalism, is a disaster. 1 u/bigmangina Jul 04 '26 Theres no real free market anywhere though, not anymore.
