Care to be any more specific? Last I checked Sweden has been ruled by the the Social Democrats for most of the 20th century, yet Sweden still has a working capitalist economy and more billionaires per capita than the United States.

Just like here in Germany, it is the ideology of the party that changed (a lot).

I've been a Social Democrat for over 30 years, that's why I left the social democratic party here.

But if anything the problem with German Social Democrats (and European left-wing parties in general) is that they've moved too far away from left-wing politics and more towards a neo-liberal financial policy.

I don't see how you can call that ultra leftist. For me that would be introducing a planned economy.

That was 20 years ago. They are at a completely different place nowadays.
