I wouldn't associate "social" and "social democracy" with "socialism" though (maybe that's because I've grown up in a socalist country - the GDR), and I wouldn't call SPD members "socialists", they're called "social-democrats". There seems to be an internal controversy between the SPD's left and right wing about the term "democratic socialism" though, which once was a stated future goal of the party.

> The "Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands" (SPD) literally has "socialist" in its name.

It literally does not.

"Sozialdemokratisch" isn't the same as "sozialistisch"="socialist" in German usage.
