| Message | Oh, changing the name is my idea of fun, so it is going to change sooner or later. However, 'social democratic' is going to stay for the foreseeable future. Social democracy is not state capitalism that squeezes out any kind of private initiative, and neither is it throwing benefits after those who don't need them. |
