socialism
'der Sozialismus' and 'die Sozialdemokratie' both have to do with social justice and equality. The most important difference lies in the political path and the economic system. 'Sozialismus' can mean an order in which the means of production are intended to be collective property. 'Sozialdemokratie' fits more with a democratic state with a market economy, in which the state sets social rules. In addition, 'Sozialdemokratie' can also mean a party or movement. Learners confuse the words because both begin with 'sozial' and name similar goals, but 'Sozialdemokratie' is usually meant as more moderate and democratic-parliamentary.
