I think we're at the "call it whatever you want" stage.

I'll call it "social democracy" because that's what it is. I'm more in favor of abolishing capitalism altogether, though in favor of worker ownership over their workplaces. Bring democracy to the workplace and expand democracy (and make it more direct) in government.

Yes, we used to call it government programs. Public spending. etc.
