Marx once wrote in the context of a revolutionary programme
drawn up by the Eisenachers that the programme of the Social Catholic movement
(‘Das Zentrum’) was the origin of most of the practical programme of social
democracy. By social democracy was meant in the 1860s the drive to disposess all
independent businesses. He condemned those who called for agitation against Das
Zentrum.
In the 1930’s Das Zentrum was known as the People’s Party and
under Von Papen gave their votes to Hitler. Von Papen was murdered soon
afterwards. He gave his votes to Hitler because of the danger of Stalinism.
In 2004 the Hartz Four changes of the SPD meant that income
support was cut from 124 Euros per month to 90 Euros per month. Germany is a rigidly bureaucratic country and the differentials between workers and unemployed grew.
The Christian Democrats and Christian Social Union opposed
this heartless manoeuvre and subsequently came to power.

Social democracy can not cater for the needs of the poor or orphaned child because it is based on rampant materialism no more than US Republicans hear the cry of those seeking social justice or the poor and indigent. The latter base their policies on the greed of the very wealthy and on a tiny minority of super-rich.
In Europe and Catholic countries and societies which are influenced by Church social principles or social centrist principles of government,the needs of the widows and orphans traditionally come to the fore.
However, the Fall of Soviet socialism has undermines the system of public charity and social endowment. That system has partly or largely ceased for the poor. Many poor people have been thrown back on their declining resources for the most part in proportion to the declining share of wealth allowed by businessmen to the poor.
