Left-Social Democracy, also clipped with Left SocDem, is the left-wing version of social democracy which shows support for
trade protectionism (sometimes),
Left-Wing Populism (usually), a mixed market economy, and
strong government intervention in the economy. These views are held by social democrats who adhere to
Keynesian economics of post-WW2 social democrats. What differs left-social democrats from
classical social democrats is that not all left-social democrats want to transition out of a capitalist framework, but all classical social democrats would be left-social democrats. But most Left-Social Democrats support some level of
Workplace Democracy whether it is implemented partially under a capitalist organization or completely under a market socialist organization of the economy.
