So why do you think we're in disagreement?

What a thought-provoking question! ;)

The difference is in the fine print.

Not everyone who considers "Social Democracy" a good state form is a Social Democrat. Social Democracy is home to left-wing and right-wing thought. As a Christian, I could identify with "social", or with "environmental protection" (The Greens) or with the more conservative values on paper as outlined by parties to the right.

I don't identify with either side but consider myself, not above but outside of this spectrum. I like to find truth in all things but have no interest in imposing myself or see others impose their or my convictions on others. I am rational and fatalistic with regards to reality, not depressed.

I know that change begins with ones own heart, which requires patience and persistence. In a way, I also have a (though less visible) revolutionary impulse... I just don't try to reach for the stars though they are beautiful to look at.
