Since the second half of the 19th century and till the beginning of the WW1 almost all of the marxist parties of the world were known as the social-democratic parties. The majority of the social-democrats were supported by Marx and Engels. V.I.Lenin was the leader of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party (RSDRP), which was the true revolutionary party of the russian proletariat.
If we think about the term "SOCIAL_DEMOCRACY", forgetting about all of the present stereotypes, we will be able to interpret it in the way, as it was meant before the WW1. When the word DEMOCRACY was used to show the democratic character of the socialism.
Revisionism and opportunism iside the social-democracy have reached crisis point already before the WW1. Social -democratic opportunism have developed into the open type of the social -chauvinism ( nationalism) during the WW1. At the same time social-democratic centrism have got it's completed form.
After the Russian October revolution of the 1917, it became apparent that social -democracy transformed into the ideological and political base of the anti-revolutionary and reformist trend in the workers' movement. As the result of the split inside the communist movement, new parties appeared. They were called COMMUNIST parties, in order to lay stress on their opposing character to the social-democrats.
Modern social -democrats are the renegades and the disgrace to the leftist revolutionary movement. They are oriented on the evolutionary forms of the social development, on the gradual and peaceful transition of the capitalism into socialism by the means of the reforms. The notion of "transcending class -distinctions" of the state and democracy, the aspiration for replacing the class struggle with the class collaboration are typical to the modern social-democracy.
Modern democratic-socialism is the petty-bourgeoise theory, which present anti-communist conception.
