    Eh… DemSoc is left wing while SocDem is basically welfare capitalism these days.

    In modern practice, social democracy has taken the form of predominantly capitalist economies, a robust welfare state, policies promoting social justice, market regulation, and a more equitable distribution of income.

      Read your own link, man. It calls Democratic Socialism a wing of Social Democracy. Also, who do you not also share the article about Social Democracy itself?

      Now, you would be correct if you merely argued that many Labour movements dipped to moderate right with their embrace of neoliberalism in the 1990s, but outside of that, they’ve been moderate left. But SocDem has always been considered various degrees of left. Sometimes not even moderately so.
