But in both cases capitalists run the government. Why with social democracy they still have good social programs while in capitalism they tend to reduce them? I doubt that with social democracy they have more generous capitalist, it’s should be something else.
Social Democratic countries tend to take a lot of money from taxes and invest into public services and infrastructure. If you want to look at it in an optimistic light it’s a middle term to reach true socialism. I agree with it’s problems, I don’t identify as a social Democrate mostly because I feel it’s an ideology with the mere goal of trying to slow capitalism and that’s a goal too small for my liking.
I think that’s part of the issue. Social democracies tend to be far more run by the people. They tend to be highly influenced by capital power but not directly and that’s a huge difference. Most countries where this exists don’t have a gigantic money moving machine from corporations to politicians like the USA it’s subtle by way of capital flight.
Always wondered how it works. Anyone know what is the difference between social democracy and classic capitalism aside good social programs and taxes?
Mostly priorities

That’s how I understand it, but why rich people may want to pay huge taxes?
Usually they try to avoid them as much as possible. I mean if capitalists run the country they could reduce them.
