While social democracy can today be seen as a 3rd way, the only consistent meaning of "3rd" way is that between the (Old Anarchist and) Communist ideologies based on the writings of Marx.

This is more commonly taken to mean specifically the "3rd way" during the run up to WW2, which was Fascism or National socialism; In other words, full "incorporation" into the corporate state, also known as totalitarianism.

Thus, according to proponents, both capitalism and socialist variants of the old were to be avoided, but to that extent also capitalism fully utilized and socialism fully implemented in a more fundamental way than by trying to "undo" the productive capital forces.

There should be historical sources available for these, but I am currently lacking them.

Yeah, it's concerning that a wiki article about this political concept tries to paint it as a moderate ideology, rather than born out of a fascist ideology. 24.237.64.242 (talk) 09:25, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
