I think one way might be to say it is an appeal to authority, which is one of the standard logical fallacies. What do you think?
How to rebut this?

White washing their desire for government control of the means of production under the guise of "private sector driven economy" via "tighter regulation of corporate malfeasance"
We know they don't care about corporate malfeasance as long as it benefits the "party".
And to add, we know they will try to shut you down if you're not towing the party line.

Conveniently leaves off the ever growing list of things you’re not allowed to do, the things you must do against your will, and the chunk out of your check needed to fund your imprisonment.
You put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig. "Socialist" is a dirty word for many people so the term "social democrat" was probably coined to not induce the same response.

Another perfect example that you don’t have to actually be smart to receive a Nobel prize
Has Paul Krugman ever been right about anything? This is the man who said the internet would have no more economic effect than the fax machine and Trump's election would cause a worldwide recession that would never end. Man's a idiot.
All a Social Democrat is, is a socialist operating in an actual democracy. Which is fine if your nation operates as a democracy. Ours doesn't. It has democratic aspects but it's a republic. If/when we actually become a communist operating nation then those same social democrats will just be socialists. It's not complicated no matter how they try to muddy the waters.
It's simple- we manipulate names and terms.... democrats now think they have to be progressive... everyone is progressive...
many democrats, many republicans, most people don't know the difference between a Democrat and a progressive.
If you call Bernie - socialist - AKA Russia/ Venezuela or Swedish Model- Bernie's plan will bankrupt America and destroy businesses... It gives everything away- and destroys the private companies who employ people.....
Hate Amazon- don't shop there
Hate Walmart- don't shop there
Amazon employs 650,000 people
Walmart has 2.2 Million Employees
Don't vote for someone who claims to help these almost 3 million people and will end up losing 1/2 of the jobs due to tax, costs, fee, legislation
You call call Bill Cosby anything- but look at his actions- I call him based upon his actions- America's #1 serial rapist.
Bernie- based upon his actions- making millions in office- wife's investigation for fraud- Ill call him America's Cancer....
What's in a name? That which we call a giant, stinking pile of shit
By any other name would smell as fucking awful and choke out a legion of septic tank dwelling leeches

Paul Krugman is not now nor has he ever been paid to be correct about anything. The expectation is that his persona compliments the decor of a communist echo chamber.
Krugman has said lots of things that are best characterized as just plain dumb. He does so regularly in the NYT. Googling him turns up innumerable phrases, speeches, and even entire books that are mind-numbingly shitheaded. His internet comment, his wishing for an alien space invasion to bolster the economy, blah, blah, blah are just the ramblings of a serious looking retard who seems to have taken a fashion cue from Saturday Night Live's Sprockets.
He does not appear quite as thick-headed, dogmatic, and ignorant as some of his colleagues (Charles Blow comes to mind) because he has spent his entire life crafting an organism that has taken the form of something that communists think an intellectual should look like, smell like, sound like, and probably even taste like.
The best rebuttal for Paul Krugman is Paul Krugman. Not his constant gaffes, but the sheer misery that he has spent his life spreading. He is a globalist and has been granted riches and fame for attacking anyone who dared challenge his idea of free markets. His primary counter to anyone who disagreed with globalism has always been simple minded ad-hominem attacks.
Please define globalism in the ugliest possible way you can. You will fall short of how ugly its effects have been on "fly-over country" and to the "deplorables".
What has happened to the Rust Belt? The NYT cannot stop running stories on the opioid epidemic in places like Ohio. The NYT editorial board enjoys an emotional bath in the blood of countless suicides occurring right now in towns that once represented America's industrial bases. What has happened to America's blue collar base? WaPo loves to comment on Michigan's sagging industry because they love a miserable story. And it is in fact a wretched misery.
But I have noticed something curious around the edges of the communist parlor room where they sip fine whiskeys and point their jeweled and crooked fingers at the latest headlines about America's hinterland... whispers that something may be amiss. Even the farthest left corners of academia have started to wonder where it all went wrong... did globalism go too far? I do not mistake this for self-doubt. It is a response to the warm welcome that Trump has received for his "protectionism".
Who has benefited from this brand of free market? How fucking ironic is it that the world's largest communist regime did so. Fucking China.
So what does Paul Krugman have to say about this now? Just reword things. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we didn't do globalization right, what we did was "hyper-globalization".
Does this sound familiar to anyone? If not, you probably bought into the meme above, and you should probably not go on living for one more moment.

In a contest between food and poison, poison always wins. Being a little socialist is like being a little pregnant. These people and their socialist views, no matter where they fall on the spectrum, are poison.
Nobel prize winning....... Lol
rebut- they hand those out for doing nothing, see previous president.
Paul Krugman an award winning economist.... Lol

Doubt if can say it better than @MosesTheTank but my take is fairly simple.
The statement “social democrat” pretty much encompasses the bullshit.
The following statements, imo, directly contradict each other.
I know of zero thriving private sector driven economies with large “social safety nets” (read enormous regulation and therefore tax burden which in itself actively kills private sector economies)
Enhanced bargaining power for workers. Hmmm. How has that actually worked in recent times and economic circumstances? Let’s see how the big players in that sector have fared. GM and Chrysler in 08. Bethlehem and Armco Steel in the years before that. The other mills at or before that time also. Textile mills in the south. The larger furniture companies in the south. Enough on that, the facts speak pretty loudly.
Corporate malfeasance. Thought the Messiah in 08 and his transparent administration fixed all that? Wasn’t that and isn’t this the same philosophy that told us our good days were done and that 3% gdp was improbable and 1-2% was more realistic.
The last thing we need is anything this non-working prick espouses.
Know the only two jobs in the world you can be consistently wrong and keep? An economist and a weatherman.

Krugman is an idiot and was as deserving of the Nobel prize as Obummer. He has never been right on anything is a political hack.
So like communism, social democrats hate guns. If they are so pure, why fear the populace with guns?
A socialist is simply a Marxist who cannot yet compel or kill you.
But several of them are full blooded cunts. Omar, Talib, AOC, Piglosi, to name a few.
No doubt but I thought we were talking about Socialism and which of the current Democratic Candidates were "Socialists". They are all cunts, jackasses, cheaters and liars. They're politicians.
Tons of shit to read about Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, Social Capitalism, etc all of the 'Net or at yer local library..I'm no expert but have studied Marx and the other founders of Socialism.
simple.wikipedia.org
I haven't seen any of the current Democrats go total/classic Socialist but rather seek to incorporate Democratic Social Concepts.
This is all rhetorical, isn't it?
VooDoo

a democrat will tell you black is white on Tuesday, and white is black on Wednesday, if it suits their purposes at the moment. they will repeat the nonsense, with the collusion of the media, as often as it takes to convince the sheeple that it must be true. it has not a thing to do with truth, honesty, decency, honor, but merely what greases their path to power.
You can get caught up in semantics or you can ask how the rights of the individual compare to the rights of the collective in a given or proposed system.
Is the system supposed to serve the people or are the people servants of the system?
Liberty is the central theme on US coins. E pluribus unum means to create unity from individuals. These individuals are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Einigkeit, Recht, Freiheit = Unity, Justice, Liberty is printed on German money.
Do you see the subtle but crucial difference in the order of priorities?
The USA is the only country on this planet where the liberty of the individual is expected to stand above every collective goal.
This is not surprising knowing under which circumstances this country was founded. It should also not be surprising why this unique civil experiment was so tremendously successful thus far.
In the end, nobody likes to be dicked around. The founders decided to explicitly protect the individual from being dicked around by the mob and the government.
You like more fairness, helping others? Go ahead, help others, donate your money, nobody is stopping you. No need to turn the whole value system upside down.
As 'selfish' the USA seems on paper, we still provide more foreign aid than anyone else. We also lead the pack with domestic charity - by far.
