Social democrats do cross over to type 4 nowadays, but one must draw a line somewhere. Needless to say, there is a very large spectrum of thought here, and the mindset above is more reflective of an antisocial disorder you find in radical youths than in social democrats who practice a kind of compassionate politics.Beaverbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957034620891207177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390382704873671828.post-659938321682294222008-03-24T10:20:00.000-05:002008-03-24T10:20:00.000-05:00I think it bears pointing out that whole you class...I think it bears pointing out that whole you classify "socialism" as democratic socialism and social democracy, you have excluded all the West's major social democrats. It also bears note that while social democracy grew out of democratic socialism, in its modern incarnation it is more a form a center-left democratic theory than a branch of socialism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
