Why with social democracy they still have good social programs while in capitalism they tend to reduce them? I doubt that with social democracy they have more generous capitalist, it's should be something else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GuilhermePelayo@slrpnk.net 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Social Democratic countries tend to take a lot of money from taxes and invest into public services and infrastructure. If you want to look at it in an optimistic light it's a middle term to reach true socialism. I agree with it's problems, I don't identify as a social Democrate mostly because I feel it's an ideology with the mere goal of trying to slow capitalism and that's a goal too small for my liking. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shatur@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) That's how I understand it, but why rich people may want to pay huge taxes?
