Someone keeps editing this page with poor grammar and the edits are incorrect
The edits all say that "third way" is also called "Third Way Neoliberalism" which I have ZERO source for, even though i have provided a source for why it it sometimes called "Modernised Social Democracy". This editor continues putting original information, and makes the blatantly untrue assertion that "Third Way" is a synthesis of Neoliberal Economic policy and centre-left social policy MrFluffster (talk) 03:52, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming that 3rd way means social democracy is a completely ahistorical fallacy
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.
