The nature of social democracy has changed throughout the decades since its inception. Historically, social democratic parties advocated socialism<\/a> in the strict sense, achieved by class struggle<\/a>. In the early 20th century, however, a number of socialist and labor parties rejected revolution<\/a> and other traditional forms of Marxism<\/a> and went on to take more moderate positions, which came to form modern social democracy. These positions often include support for a democratic<\/a> welfare state<\/a> which incorporates elements of both socialism<\/a> and capitalism<\/a>, sometimes termed the mixed economy<\/a> or the social market economy<\/a>.[2]<\/a><\/sup> This differs from traditional socialism, which aims to end the predominance of capitalism<\/a> and replace it with a worker-controlled economic system. Social democrats aim to reform capitalism democratically through state regulation<\/a> and the creation of programs that work to counteract or remove the social injustice<\/a> and inefficiencies they see as inherent in capitalism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
