Do social democrats know what's their goal? Do they have the vision of the society that is worth fighting for? I doubt it. The many last years social democrats' key rule is "whatever you (the centre-right) do, we (the centre-left) can do better’. But better will never see the light as for the social democrats, the society is more important than an individual. They diminish the role of humans, treating them as helpless beings that need to be supported at the cost of others, those who refuse to be dependant on the state. It leads to the perversion of the system, where it is expected the wealthy are obliged to take care for those who don't have so much (and I am not talking about the really poor and needy people, as they stay poor whichever system has the power), where the work is not respected. People are disgusted with the rich, thanks to whom they don't have to work...simply because they don't respect the work. The work is not needed to survive. The state is needed to survive. Redistribution of goods. Moving money from one box to the other. Growing bureaucracy and complex systems, that diminish the individual even further.
The social - democrats = the couch socialists, who sometimes get awaken from their consumption trance and in order to calm the pangs of conscience, they preach how we need to do something for "those who need it most", how we need to show more compassion and increase taxes...of course only if they are sure such statements will bring the popularity among the voters...in the name of collective...
but today, we live in times where there it's rather absurd talking about capitalistic or socialistic econony. there is only a good or bad economy...
well, that's enough for me when it goes for politics
