You believe in a society where the government plays an active role in promoting social justice, reducing income inequality, and ensuring access to essential services for all citizens.
Social Democracy is a political ideology that advocates for a balance between a capitalist or market economy and strong governmental intervention to promote social justice. It is rooted in the belief that social and economic inequalities should be minimized through progressive taxation, income redistribution, or even welfare state measures. The ideology also supports a robust public sector, including public education, healthcare, and child care, as well as other services aimed at minimizing poverty and homelessness.
The origins of Social Democracy can be traced back to the 19th centur…

How does it make you feel when you think about a society that actively tries to reduce the stigma around receiving public assistance?
@9J8NFCJ 11mos11MO
We need to make everyone have an equal opportunity to life and not live in poverty. Not only is it not good for the person who is disadvantaged, but it also does not look good on the nation which is seen as one that takes care of other things than itself. Social democracy allows the people to have a say in issues that affect them and others. It has been proven before that one party states help but often in a way that goes against the people's wishes. Democracy when it's not threatened allows people to see their country in a better light. An example of this is the Nordic countries.

We need more people trying to efuce the stigma. We all need a little help sometimes and that's okay. The people that need help, need it for a reason. The world isn't equal to us all we don't hsve all the same opportunities. For mentally ill people, disabled, single mothers, etc, some groups of people just need a little more support. It isnt a moral failing. What us a moral failing is shaming those who struggle when the reason they're struggling is ojtwith their control. Even if it is in their control, well compassion goes a long way.

Would your perspective on money change if everyone received a basic income to cover fundamental needs?

Yes as you would not have to work as much to meet basic needs

Does the thought of a child's future being less dependent on their parents' wealth bring you comfort or concern?
@9HLMBKL1yr1Y
A child should be able to come into this world & be able from birth to have level of subsistence that enables them to compete with every other child of his age grouping...A child should not be dependant on any former familial support other than that what it needs for love & comfort ,The social aspects we all need to learn ,Wealth for some children is a burden ,For others who have no wealth it also a burden ...Less is more for everyone ,When we die our gains in life should pass away with us ,I do not believe in heritage wealth ,It is why we moved away from the feudal system ,It is… Read more

Do you think a society could function well with a cap on the maximum income or wealth individuals can earn, and what would that look like?
@9JQ3W8811mos11MO
i disagree with a maximum income as i believe the incentive to push for innovation and to develop businesses leads to more efficient products/ services and prevents more illegal tax avoidance which will decrease the governments revenue
