Lassalle.</div> </div> </div> The origins of social democracy have been traced to the 1860s, with the rise of the first major working-class party in Europe, the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_German_Workers%27_Association" title="General German Workers' Association">General German Workers' Association</a> (ADAV) founded by Ferdinand Lassalle.<a href="#cite_note-Murray_Bookchin_Pp._284-23">[23]</a> At the same time the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workingmen%27s_Association" title="International Workingmen's Association">International Workingmen's Association</a> also known as the First International was founded in 1864 brought together socialists of various stances, and initially brought forth a conflict between Karl Marx and the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism" title="Anarchism">anarchists</a> led by <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Bakunin" title="Mikhail Bakunin">Mikhail Bakunin</a> over the role of the state in socialism, with Bakunin rejecting any role for the state.<a href="#cite_note-Micheline_R._Ishay_2008._P._148-24">[24]</a> Another issue at the First International was the role of reformism.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> Although Lassalle was not a Marxist, he was influenced by the theories of Marx and Engels, and he accepted the existence and importance of class struggle. However unlike Marx's and Engels' <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto" title="The Communist Manifesto">The Communist Manifesto</a>, Lassalle promoted class struggle in a more moderate form.<a href="#cite_note-Christian_Aspalter_2001._P._52-26">[26]</a> While Marx viewed the state negatively as an instrument of class rule that should only exist temporarily upon the rise to power of the proletariat and then dismantled, Lassalle accepted the state. Lassalle viewed the state as a means through which workers could enhance their interests and even transform the society to create an economy based on worker-run cooperatives. Lassalle's strategy was primarily electoral and reformist, with Lassalleans contending that the working-class needed a political party that fought above all for universal adult male suffrage.<a href="#cite_note-Murray_Bookchin_Pp._284-23">[23]</a> The ADAV's party newspaper was called Die Sozialdemokrat ("The Social Democrat"). Marx and Engels responded to the title "Sozialdemocrat" with distaste, Engels once wrote "But what a title: Sozialdemokrat!...Why don't they simply call it The Proletarian." Marx agreed with Engels that "Sozialdemokrat" was a bad title.<a href="#cite_note-Christian_Aspalter_2001._P._52-26">[26]</a> However the origins of the name "Sozialdemokrat" actually traced back to Marx's German translation in 1848 of the French political party known as "Partie Democrat-Socialist" into "Partei der Sozialdemokratie"; but Marx did not like this French party because he viewed it as dominated by the middle-class, and associated the word "Sozialdemokrat" with that party.<a href="#cite_note-Christian_Aspalter_2001._P._53-27">[27]</a> There was a Marxist faction within the ADAV represented by <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Liebknecht" title="Wilhelm Liebknecht">Wilhelm Liebknecht</a> who became one of the editors of the Die Sozialdemokrat.<a href="#cite_note-Christian_Aspalter_2001._P._52-26">[26]</a> Faced with opposition from liberal capitalists to his socialist policies, Lassalle controversially attempted to forge a tactical alliance with the conservative aristocratic <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junker" title="Junker">Junkers</a> due to their anti-bourgeois attitudes, as well as from Prussian Chancellor <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck" title="Otto von Bismarck">Otto von Bismarck</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Murray_Bookchin_Pp._284-23">[23]</a> Friction in the ADAV arose over Lassalle's policy of a friendly approach to Bismarck that had assumed that Bismarck in turn would be friendly towards them that did not succeed. This approach opposed by the party's Marxists including Liebknecht.<a href="#cite_note-Christian_Aspalter_2001._P._53-27">[27]</a> Opposition in the ADAV to Lassalle's friendly approach to Bismarck's government resulted in Liebknecht resigning from his position as editor of Die Sozialdemokrat, and left the ADAV in 1865.

The party adopted stances similar to those adopted by Marx at the First International.

In spite of such militant rhetoric to appeal to the working-class, the Commune also received substantial support from the middle-class bourgeoisie of Paris, including shopkeepers and merchants. The Commune, in part due to its sizable number neo-Proudhonians and neo-Jacobins in the Central Committee, declared that the Commune was not opposed to private property, but rather hoped to create the widest distribution of it.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> The political composition of the Commune included twenty-five neo-Jacobins, fifteen to twenty neo-Proudhonians and protosyndicalists, nine or ten Blanquists, a variety of radical republicans, and a few Internationalists influenced by Marx.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> In the aftermath of the collapse of the Paris Commune in 1871, Marx praised the Paris Commune in his work <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Civil_War_in_France" title="The Civil War in France">The Civil War in France</a> (1871) for its achievements, in spite of its pro-bourgeois influences, and called it an excellent model of the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletariat" title="Dictatorship of the proletariat">dictatorship of the proletariat</a> in practice, as it had dismantled the apparatus of the bourgeois state including its huge bureaucracy; military; and its executive, judicial, and legislative institutions; with a working-class state with broad popular support.<a href="#cite_note-Murray_Bookchin_Pp._256-32">[32]</a> However the collapse of the Commune and the persecution of its anarchist supporters had the effect of weakening the influence of the Bakuninist anarchists in the First International, this would result in Marx expelling the weakened rival Bakuninists from the International a year later.<a href="#cite_note-Murray_Bookchin_Pp._256-32">[32]</a> In Britain, the achievement of legalization of trade unions under the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_Union_Act_1871" title="Trade Union Act 1871">Trade Union Act of 1871</a> drew British trade unionists to believe that working conditions could be improved through parliamentary means.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> At the Hague Congress of 1872, Marx altered his position on the necessity of a violent revolution to achieve socialism, by taking into account the different institutions of different countries.<a href="#cite_note-Micheline_R._Ishay_2008._P._148-24">[24]</a> At the Congress, Marx declared: <blockquote class="templatequote"> <div class="Bug6200">We know that the institutions, customs and traditions in the different countries must be taken into account; and we do not deny the existence of countries like America, England, and...I might add Holland, where the workers may achieve their aims by peaceful means.

With the overthrow of the Tsar and revolutionary socialist agitation increased in Russia, such events influenced socialists in Germany. With rising bread shortages in Germany amid war rationing, mass strikes occurred beginning in April 1917 with 300,000 strikers taking part in a strike in Berlin. The strikers demanded bread, freedom, peace, and the formation of workers' councils as was being done in Russia. Amidst the German public's uproar, the SPD alongside the Progressives and the Catholic labour movement in the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_(German_Empire)" title="Reichstag (German Empire)">Reichstag</a> put forward the "Peace Resolution" on 19 July 1917 that called for a compromise peace to end the war, that was passed by a majority of members of the Reichstag. The German High Command opposed the Peace Resolution, however it did seek to end the war with Russia, and presented the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk" title="Treaty of Brest-Litovsk">Treaty of Brest-Litovsk</a> to the Bolshevik regime in 1918 that agreed to the terms and the Reichstag passed the treaty, that included the support of the SPD, the Progressives, and the Catholic political movement.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> By late 1918 the war situation for Germany had become hopeless, and Kaiser Wilhelm II was pressured to make peace. Wilhelm II appointed a new cabinet that included SPD members in it. At the same time the Imperial Naval Command was determined to make a heroic last stand against the British Royal Navy, and on 24 October 1918 it issued orders for the German Navy to depart to confront while the sailors refused, resulting in the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiel_Mutiny" title="Kiel Mutiny" class="mw-redirect">Kiel Mutiny</a>. The Kiel Mutiny resulted in the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Revolution_of_1918%E2%80%931919" title="German Revolution of 1918–1919">German Revolution of 1918–1919</a>. Faced with military failure and revolution, Chancellor Max <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prince_Maximillian_of_Baden&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Prince Maximillian of Baden (page does not exist)">Prince Maximillian of Baden</a> resigned, giving SPD leader Ebert the position of Chancellor, Wihelm II abdicated the German throne immediately afterwards, and the German High Command officials <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_von_Hindenburg" title="Paul von Hindenburg">Paul von Hindenburg</a> and <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Ludendorff" title="Erich Ludendorff">Erich Ludendorff</a> resigned whilst refusing to end the war to save face, leaving the Ebert government and the SPD-majority Reichstag to be forced to make the inevitable peace with the Allies and take the blame for having lost the war. With the abdication of Wilhelm II, Ebert declared Germany to be a republic and signed the armistice that ended World War I on 11 November 1918. The new social democratic government in Germany faced political violence in Berlin by a movement of communist revolutionaries known as the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacist_League" title="Spartacist League" class="mw-redirect">Spartacist League</a> who sought to repeat the feat of Lenin and the Bolsheviks in Russia, by overthrowing the German government.<a href="#cite_note-TwoRed2-85">[85]</a> Tensions between the governing "Majority" Social Democrats (led by Ebert) versus the strongly left-wing elements of the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD) and communists over Ebert's refusal to immediately reform the German Army, resulted in the "January rising" by the newly formed <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Germany" title="Communist Party of Germany">Communist Party of Germany</a> (KPD) and the USPD, resulting in communists mobilizing a large workers' demonstration. The SPD responded by holding a counterdemonstration that was effective in demonstrating support for the government, and the USPD soon withdrew its support for the rising.<a href="#cite_note-Berman145-86">[86]</a> However the communists continued to revolt, and between 12 to 28 January 1919, communist forces had seized control of several government buildings in Berlin. Ebert responded by requesting that Defense Minister <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Noske" title="Gustav Noske">Gustav Noske</a> take charge of loyal soldiers to fight the communists and secure the government.<a href="#cite_note-TwoRed2-85">[85]</a> Ebert was furious with the communists' intransigence and said that he wished "to teach the radicals a lesson they would never forget". Noske was able to rally groups of mostly reactionary ex-soldiers, known as the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freikorps" title="Freikorps">Freikorps</a> who were eager to fight the communists. The situation soon went completely out of control when the recruited Freikorps went on a violent rampage against workers and murdered the communist leaders <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karl_Liebenknecht&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Karl Liebenknecht (page does not exist)">Karl Liebenknecht</a> and <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Luxembourg" title="Rosa Luxembourg" class="mw-redirect">Rosa Luxembourg</a>. The atrocities by the government-recruited Freikorps against the communist revolutionaries badly tarnished the reputation of the SPD and strengthened the confidence of reactionary forces. In spite of this, the SPD was able to win the largest number of seats in the parliamentary election held on 19 January 1919 and Ebert was elected <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Germany" title="President of Germany">President of Germany</a>, but the USPD in response to the atrocities committed by the government-recruited Freikorps, refused to support the SPD government.<a href="#cite_note-Berman145-86">[86]</a> Due to the unrest in Berlin, the construction of the constitution of the new German republic was created in the city of <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar" title="Weimar">Weimar</a>, and is referred to as the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_Republic" title="Weimar Republic">Weimar Republic</a>. Upon founding the new government, President Ebert cooperated with liberal members of his coalition government to create the constitution, Ebert sought to begin a program of <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization" title="Nationalization">nationalizations</a> of some parts of the economy. Political unrest and violence continued and the government's continued reliance on the help of the Freikorps counterrevolutionaries to fight the communist revolutionaries continued to alienate potential left-wing support for the SPD. The SPD coalition government's acceptance of the harsh peace conditions of the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles" title="Treaty of Versailles">Treaty of Versailles</a> in June 1919, infuriated the right, including the Freikorps that had previously been willing to cooperate with the government to fight the communists. In the German parliamentary election of June 1919, the SPD share of the vote declined significantly. In March 1920, a group of right-wing <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militarism" title="Militarism">militarists</a> led by <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Kapp" title="Wolfgang Kapp">Wolfgang Kapp</a> and former German military chief-of-staff Erich Ludendorff initiated a briefly successful <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putsch" title="Putsch" class="mw-redirect">putsch</a> against the German government, in what became known as the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapp_Putsch" title="Kapp Putsch">Kapp Putsch</a>, however the putsch failed and the government was restored.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> <h3> Interwar period and the Great Depression, 1920-1939</h3> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:302px;"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg/300px-Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg" width="300" height="213" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg/450px-Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg/600px-Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg 2x"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Noe_Zhordania_meets_2nd_International_delegation._1920.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf8/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" height="11" alt=""/></a></div> <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noe_Zhordania" title="Noe Zhordania">Noe Zhordania</a> (man with white beard and wearing a white hat on the left side of the car), the President of newly independent Georgia, attending a meeting of the refounded Second International in Georgia 1920.

Opponents of the Labour Party accused the party of communist sympathies. Prime Minister MacDonald responded to these allegations by stressing the party's commitment to reformist gradualism and openly opposing the radical wing in the party.<a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> MacDonald emphasized that the Labour minority government's first and foremost commitment was to uphold democratic responsible government over all other policies. MacDonald emphasized this because he knew that any attempt to pass major socialist legislation in a minority government status would endanger the new government because it would be opposed and blocked by the Conservatives and the Liberals who together held a majority of seats. The Labour Party had risen to power in the aftermath of Britain's severe recession of 1921-1922, with the economy beginning to recover, British trade unions demanded that their wages be restored from the cuts they took in the recession. The trade unions soon became deeply dissatisfied with the MacDonald government and labour unrest and threat of strikes arose in transportation sector, including docks and railways. MacDonald viewed the situation as a crisis, consulting the unions in advance to warn them that his government would have to use strikebreakers if the situation continued. The anticipated clash between the government and the unions was averted, however the situation alienated the unions from the MacDonald government. MacDonald's most controversial action was having Britain recognize the government of the Soviet Union in February 1924. The British Conservative press, including the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mail" title="Daily Mail">Daily Mail</a> used this to promote a <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_scare" title="Red scare" class="mw-redirect">red scare</a>, claiming that the Labour government's recognition of the Soviet Union proved that Labour held pro-Bolshevik sympathies.<a href="#cite_note-Jeffreys29-100">[100]</a> The British Labour Party lost the 1924 election and a Conservative government was elected. Though MacDonald faced multiple challenges to his leadership of the party, the party stabilized by 1927 as a capable opposition party to the Conservative government. MacDonald released a new political programme for the party titled <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Labour_and_the_Nation&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Labour and the Nation (page does not exist)">Labour and the Nation</a> (1928).

Hilferding was an influential Marxian socialist both in social democracy and outside it, such as his pamphlet titled Imperialism influencing Lenin's own conception of imperialism in the 1910s. Prior to the 1920s Hilferding declared that capitalism had evolved beyond what had been laissez-faire capitalism into what he called "organized capitalism". Organized capitalism was based upon <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_(monopoly)" title="Trust (monopoly)">trusts</a> and <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel" title="Cartel">cartels</a> controlled by financial institutions that could no longer make money within their countries' national boundaries and thus needed to export to survive, resulting in support for imperialism.<a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a> Hilferding described that while early capitalism promoted itself as peaceful and based on free trade, the era of organized capitalism was aggressive and said that "in the place of humanity there came the idea of the strength and power of the state". He said that this had the consequence of creating effective collectivization within capitalism and had prepared the way for socialism.<a href="#cite_note-Harrington57-102">[102]</a> Originally Hilferding's vision of a socialism replacing organized capitalism was highly Kautskyan in assuming an either/or perspective, expecting a catastrophic clash between organized capitalism versus socialism. However by the 1920s, Hilferding became an adherent to promoting a gradualist evolution of capitalism into socialism. He then praised organized capitalism for being a step towards socialism, saying at the SPD congress in 1927 that "organized capitalism" is nothing less than "the replacement of the capitalist principle of free competition by the socialist principle of planned production". He went on to say that "the problem is posed to our generation: with the help of the state, with the help of conscious social direction, to transform the economy organized and led by capitalists into an economy directed by the democratic state.".<a href="#cite_note-Harrington57-102">[102]</a> In the 1930s, the SPD began to transition away from revisionist Marxism towards <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_socialism" title="Liberal socialism">liberal socialism</a> beginning in the 1930s.

Cárdenas was deeply committed to social democracy, but was criticized by his left-wing opponents for being pro-capitalist due to his personal association with a wealthy family and for being corrupt due to his government's exemption from agrarian reform of the estate held by former Mexican President <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvaro_Obreg%C3%B3n" title="Alvaro Obregón" class="mw-redirect">Alvaro Obregón</a>. Political violence in Mexico had become serious in the 1920s with the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristero_War" title="Cristero War">Cristero War</a> in which right-wing reactionary clericals fought against the left-wing government that was attempting to institute secularization of Mexico. Furthermore, Cardenas' government openly supported Spain's Republican government while opposing <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Franco" title="Francisco Franco">Francisco Franco</a>'s Nationalists during the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War" title="Spanish Civil War">Spanish Civil War</a>. During the Spanish Civil War, Cárdenas staunchly asserted that Mexico was progressive and socialist - working with socialists of various types including communists, and accepted refugees from Spain as well as accepting communist renegade <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Trotsky" title="Leon Trotsky">Leon Trotsky</a> as a refugee after <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin" title="Joseph Stalin">Joseph Stalin</a> removed Trotsky and sought to have him killed. Cárdenas strengthened the rights of Mexico's labour movement, nationalized foreign oil companies, and controversially supported peasants in their struggle against landlords by allowing them to form militias to fight the private armies of landlords in the country. Cárdenas' actions deeply aggravated right-wing reactionaries and there was fear that Mexico would succumb to civil war. Cardenas stepped down as Mexican President and supported a compromise presidential candidate who held support from business interests, in order to avoid further antagonizing the right-wing that could have caused a civil war.<a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a> <h3> Cold War era and Keynesianism, 1945-1979</h3> <div class="rellink boilerplate seealso">See also: <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_socialism" title="History of socialism">History of socialism</a></div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:152px;"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Awolowo-Obafemi.JPG" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/19/Awolowo-Obafemi.JPG/150px-Awolowo-Obafemi.JPG" width="150" height="184" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/Awolowo-Obafemi.JPG 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/Awolowo-Obafemi.JPG 2x"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Awolowo-Obafemi.JPG" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf8/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" height="11" alt=""/></a></div> <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obafemi_Awolowo" title="Obafemi Awolowo">Obafemi Awolowo</a>, Premier of the Nigerian province of Western Nigeria, 1954-1960.

to drop its commitment to nationalization, and to stop equating nationalization with socialism.<a href="#cite_note-130">[130]</a> Instead of this, he claimed that a socialist programme should be about

The Declaration of Principles addressed issues concerning the "internationalization of the economy". The Declaration of Principles defined its interpretation of the nature of socialism. It stated that socialist values and vision include "a peaceful and democratic world society combining freedom, justice and solidarity". It defined the rights and freedoms it supported, stating: "Socialists protect the inalienable right to life and to physical safety, to freedom of belief and free expression of opinion, to freedom of association and to protection from torture and degradation. Socialists are committed to achieve freedom from hunger and want, genuine social security, and the right to work." However it also clarified that it did not promote any fixed and permanent definition for socialism, stating: "Socialists do not claim to possess the blueprint for some final and fixed society which cannot be changed, reformed or further developed. In a movement committed to democratic self-determination there will always be room for creativity since each people and every generation must set its own goals."<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a> <div class="thumb tleft"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:152px;"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nelson_Mandela-2008_(edit).jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Nelson_Mandela-2008_%28edit%29.jpg/150px-Nelson_Mandela-2008_%28edit%29.jpg" width="150" height="196" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Nelson_Mandela-2008_%28edit%29.jpg/225px-Nelson_Mandela-2008_%28edit%29.jpg 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Nelson_Mandela-2008_%28edit%29.jpg/300px-Nelson_Mandela-2008_%28edit%29.jpg 2x"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nelson_Mandela-2008_(edit).jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf8/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" height="11" alt=""/></a></div> <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela" title="Nelson Mandela">Nelson Mandela</a>, President of South Africa, 1994-1999.

They claim that this formed the foundation of the "Right's moral trap" in which the neoliberal right attacks on economic planning policies by the left, that provokes a defense of such planning by the left as being morally necessary, and ends with the right then rebuking such policies as being inherently economically incompetent while presenting itself as the champion of economic competence.<a href="#cite_note-164">[164]</a> Cramme and Diamond state that social democracy has four different strategies both to address the economic crisis in global markets at present that it could adopt in response: market conforming, market complimenting, market resisting, market substituting, and market transforming.<a href="#cite_note-165">[165]</a> Cramme and Diamond identify market conforming as being equivalent to historic social democratic policymaker <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Snowden" title="Philip Snowden" class="mw-redirect">Philip Snowden</a>'s desire for a very moderate socialist agenda based above all upon fiscal prudence, as Snowden insisted that socialism had to build upon fiscal prudence or else it would not be achieved.<a href="#cite_note-166">[166]</a> <div class="thumb tleft"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:222px;"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg/220px-Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg" width="220" height="150" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg/330px-Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg/440px-Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg 2x"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dilma_Lula_Temer_Conven%C3%A7%C3%A3o_PT.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf8/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" height="11" alt=""/></a></div> <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilma_Rousseff" title="Dilma Rousseff">Dilma Rousseff</a>, President of Brazil, 2011-present; with <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luiz_In%C3%A1cio_Lula_da_Silva" title="Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva">Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva</a>, President of Brazil, 2003-2010; during the 2010 Brazilian presidential campaign in which Rouseff was elected President.</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:152px;"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg/150px-Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg" width="150" height="212" class="thumbimage" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg/225px-Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg/300px-Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg 2x"/></a> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"><a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mizuho_Fukushima.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf8/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" height="11" alt=""/></a></div> <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizuho_Fukushima" title="Mizuho Fukushima">Mizuho Fukushima</a>, leader of the <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_Japan" title="Social Democratic Party of Japan" class="mw-redirect">Social Democratic Party of Japan</a>.</div> </div> </div> <h2> Criticism</h2> <table class="metadata plainlinks ambox ambox-content ambox-multiple_issues compact-ambox" style=""> <tr> <td class="mbox-image"> <div style="width: 52px;"><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20130130203008im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f4/Ambox_content.png" width="40" height="40"/></div> </td> <td class="mbox-text" style="">This section has multiple issues.

Social democratic programs intended to ameliorate capitalism, such as unemployment benefits, taxation on profits and the wealthy, create contradictions of their own by limiting the efficiency of the capitalist system by reducing incentives for capitalists to invest in production.<a href="#cite_note-Market_Socialism_1998._P.60-61-168">[168]</a> Democratic socialists, such as David Schweickart, contrast social democracy with <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_socialism" title="Democratic socialism">democratic socialism</a> by defining the former as an attempt to strengthen the welfare state, and the latter as an alternative socialist economic system to capitalism. According to Schweickart, the democratic socialist critique of social democracy states that capitalism could never be sufficiently "humanized", and any attempt to suppress the economic contradictions of capitalism would only cause them to emerge elsewhere. For example, attempts to reduce unemployment too much would result in inflation, and too much job security would erode labor discipline.<a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a> In contrast to social democracy, democratic socialists advocate a post-capitalist economic system based either on market socialism combined with workers self-management, or on some form of <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_planning_(economics)" title="Decentralized planning (economics)">participatory-economic planning</a>.<a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a> Market socialists contrast social democracy with <a href="/web/20130130203008/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_socialism" title="Market socialism">market socialism</a>.

(P.60-61): "The Marxist answers that market socialism cannot exist because it involves limiting the incentive system of the market through providing minimum wages, high levels of unemployment insurance, reducing the size of the reserve army of labour, taxing profits, and taxing the wealthy. As a result, capitalists will have little incentive to invest and the workers will have little incentive to work. Capitalism works because, as Marx remarked, it is a system of economic force (coercion)."</li> <li id="cite_note-169"><a href="#cite_ref-169">^</a> Schweickart, David. Democratic Socialism.

They supported and tried to strengthen the labor movement. The latter, as socialists, argued that capitalism could never be sufficiently humanized, and that trying to suppress the economic contradictions in one area would only see them emerge in a different guise elsewhere.
