Rfv-sense: "Theory and practice of the transition from capitalism to socialism by democratic means; increasingly replaced in usage by democratic socialism." Sounds unlikely that "social democracy" would mean "transition" of any kind. I think the first definition says it all: "A moderate political philosophy that aims to achieve socialistic goals within capitalist society such as by means of a strong welfare state and regulation of private industry." --Hekaheka 12:21, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

No defenders, deleting second sense. --Hekaheka 20:19, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Hekaheka, a heads-up:  A revision of the transitional definition has been reinserted by GreggH.  Yours, allixpeeke (talk) 20:59, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

There is apparent confusion with democratic socialism
