It is not. Social Democracy is a subsection inside the umbrella of Liberalism.

I'm aware of what Social Democracy is. It's an increase in Social Safety Nets within the framework of Capitalism, therefore it is a Capitalist ideology, and falls under the umbrella of Liberalism.

The division on whether social democracy is a socialist movement or not pretty much coincides with the division between reform and revolution as means to attain socialism.

A conundrum with nearly a definitive answer, at this point.

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah... Still, considering only my self interest I am really glad I am living in a social democracy opposed to many of the other hellscapes forged by capitalism.

Social democracy gets some things right, for all its faults.
