Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism?

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.

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?

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