Ah, yeah, I used to be a social democrat too, but I did a lot of reading and I came to the conclusion that social democracy isn't really politically sustainable without the threat of communism, and it really isn't economically stable in the same way capitalism isn't as laid out in Capital (which is a good read btw, very dense but worth reading for the economic analysis)
