La social-démocratie provient directement des partis formés à la fin du XIXe siècle, en Allemagne en particulier, qui avaient pour objectif d'utiliser les élections pour accéder au pouvoir avec l'intention de procéder à des réformes. Initialement alimentés par la doctrine marxiste, les sociaux-démocrates estiment généralement qu'on peut passer progressivement et sans révolution violente du capitalisme au socialisme. 1, record 1, French, - social%2Dd%C3%A9mocratie
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pensée politique inspirée du marxisme, dont elle s'est considérablement éloignée. Alors que le marxisme prévoit le renversement violent du système capitaliste et l'instauration d'une dictature dite prolétarienne, la social-démocratie favorise au contraire le maintien du capitalisme et son humanisation par des mesures sociales destinées à améliorer le sort des ouvriers. À peu près tous les États occidentaux, sauf les États-Unis, se sont plus ou moins inspirés de cette doctrine au cours du XXe siècle pour introduire des mesures de protection sociale. 2, record 1, French, - social%2Dd%C3%A9mocratie
