Any "real" social democrat (i.e. someone who actually thinks that the programs are worth funding with their own money, not just everyone else's money) would support such a program

[/ QUOTE ]

how do you define social democracy?

[/ QUOTE ]

A democratic state where taxes are collected and redistributed through state programs in an attempt to create a better society?

[/ QUOTE ]

How does this differ from just "democracy"?

[/ QUOTE ]

The "social" in the front indicates that the majority has voted for the tax/programs platform (i.e. socialism).

Ah, but if I vote for tax/programs platform that supports massive military, more prisons, war on drugs, education reform, post offices, and the like, then I am not a "social democrat"?

So basically a "social democrat" is any voter in a democracy who votes for programs that YOU don't support.
