Social democracy leaves power in the hands of the capitalists, they only tolerate reforms like this when capitalism is threatened, and they will (and have) eroded as soon as the threat is gone.

Individual rights get eroded if people don’t keep the good fight. The hope for a system that can prevent the amassing of power in the hands of a few through no effort by the many is entitled childishness personified.

If you prevent the swelling of power Capitalists regularly achieve, then people can maintain that good fight.

Begging the capitalist class to give you more crumbs is not the good fight.

The good fight involves distributing the source of their power, control over the means of production, to the people.
