    One is s market system and the other is a governing system. You can have capitalism in s social democracy. There is no VS.

        Ah ok. Can you explain? To me it seems like looking at the same thing from a slightly different point of view when they are two totally different things. .

          A capitalist nation pursuing social democracy is still a capitalist nation. The meme is showing how the economic hierarchy remains the same pre and post social democracy.

              That would be a redundant distinction, since social democracy is a product of capitalism. It doesn’t really exist outside it.

              Memes are a lot better when you don’t overthink them though. It’s a joke, not an academic paper.
