Social democracy is an ideology that advocates for reforming capitalism and creating a welfare state without changing the mode of production or creating a dictatorship of the proletariat.[1] Social democrats are sometimes called "social fascists" because they usually side with the bourgeoisie over revolutionary socialists, such as in Germany in 1919.[2] Examples of social democratic states are France, Finland, and Sweden. The most well-known social democrat in the United States is Bernie Sanders.
