    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.
