    A form of capitalism…

      From Wikipedia:

      Social democracy is a social, economic, and political philosophy within socialism that supports political and economic democracy and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality.

      While it is not an objective definition, I think it is a valid point of view to see social democracy rather as a reformist variant socialism than capitalism.

        Read a book. Social democracy is a reformation of capitalism, not socialism. It is literally a process that starts with a capitalist country. No country has ever started with socialism and then reverted to social democracy. It is a stage of capitalism making concessions to the working class.

  Anarchism.

    I feel like most anarchists identify as socialists, so I’m not sure about that one.

  Nothing. Liberals don’t know the difference between being a leftist and being on a national left.

  In terms of societal left, it would be equal opportunity and fairness without discrimination in any kind of economic apparatus. Maybe some sort of meritocracy?
