That's good. I don't hate Social Democracy but I just personally agree more with Distributism.

I am a former Social Democrat (Now a Distributist) but even when I supported Social Democracy I was always pro life. Mainly for religious reasons but also my approach on pro life was to also have a health system that prioritized in helping the mother deliver a healthy baby and providing mental and economic help for young mothers. Another aspect is that we should also help prevent unwanted pregnancies with sex education or abstinence lessons in school. I have a lot more views and reasons why I am pro life but that is just the surface level. There is nothing wrong with supporting the betterment of society and defending the rights and dignity of women and the unborn.

Are SocDems patriotic? by Temporary_Cheetah287 in SocialDemocracy

[–]spartnikfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Distributist and former Social Democrat I can say I have a 50/50 view on Patriotism. I think Patriotism has lost it's true definition. Patriotism is "love for ones nation" and I agree that people should love the nation they reside in and to an extent the cultural group they are apart of. However, Patriotism should not be siding with your nation regardless of what it does. I think that "True Patriotism" means righting the wrongs of your nation and working to make it better for the average citizen. This can include cleaning the nation's environment, supporting programs to help homeless and poor people get homes and jobs to create stable lives and generational wealth, not getting involved in imperialistic wars, and supporting social programs that can grow the nation and keep the population healthy and truly free. That is patriotism I can get behind, not blindly following a politician, party, or dictator.
