Why does self proclaimed social democrat Mingi defend capitalism more than socialism?
Because Social Democracy is more Capitalist than Socialist. Wrong, Mr "genius". Social Democracy is roughly 50/50 and can lean either way. Social Democracy was founded on socialist ideals but within the context of working through the establishment for reform rather than by overthrowing it. A true Social Democrat is a Socialist at heart but either believes in having a regulated private sector or in only temporarily having one as society shifts more left. Think about it's place on the political spectrum, right next to democratic socialism. It's separated from traditional capitalism by three whole spaces, Liberalism, centrism and center-right (you're basically a mainline democrat which fits well with your admiration of Hillary). |
