Beschreibung

The social democracy today is in a defensive position against the dominance of neoliberalism. While social democracy should unmistakably act as a proxy for the working people and the socially excluded, especially after the Third Way , it has manifested its great ideological gap by lacking the appropriate political narrative to resist the dominant anti-state neoliberal discourse and thus to prescribe a future beyond capitalism. Social democracy, which for a century has emphatically elevated social justice and equality to a dividing line against capitalism, now appears reluctant to endorse the concept of the welfare state. Consequently, there is a general sense that states have lost control of their destiny and are left to the whim of the market.
