Script error: No such module "Mbox".

Reformist Marxism, also called Evolutionary Socialism,[1] Marxist Social Democracy[2] or Bernsteinism is a type of Marxism which seeks to achieve communism through the use of reformist means. Reformist Marxism is the precursor of modern Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy.[3] Reformist Marxism today is practiced by the Japanese Communist Party.[4]

History

Germany

Flag of Reformist Marxism

Reformist Marxism has its origins in the writings of Eduard Bernstein, who, while identifying with Marxism, felt that there were significant errors in Marx's writing, and often criticized significant parts of Marxist theory such as the idea of revolution to achieve a socialist society. His work would prove influential to later Marxist revisionists and what would later come to be known as Social Democracy.

Japan

Flag of Reformist Marxism

Japanese Communism is an ideology based off of the Japanese Communist Party. It is a form of Marxism with major influences from Democratic Socialism and strong opposition to Neoconservatism in Japan and a focus on maintaining Japan's national sovereignty.

United Kingdom

The UK Labour Party was first formed on the 27th of February 1900 by the Labour Representation Committee (a pressure group that focused on workers' rights) and was initially socialist and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other socialist political parties in Europe, the abolishment of private property was dropped from their party platform and they swiftly won elections after this. However despite this moderation many groups within labour have still claimed Marxist and Bernsteinist traditions such as Bevan, Indepedant Labour and McDonnell these figures and party are often called in the UK "hard left" because of their often extreme beliefs. Bevan was characterised by his strong support for continuing the mass nationalisations post world war two despite the large debt that was piling up, and his opposition to Gaitskell's efforts to remove clause four from the labour party constitution (defining labour as a socialist party). Independent Labour was a separate party but often affiliated with labour throughout the early 20th century (disbanding in the 1970s) they refused to abandon their Marxist routes like the larger labour party, members included the famous writer George Orwell.

How to Draw

Bernsteinism

The main design of Reformist Marxism, Bernsteinism uses a variant of the Social Democracy design. The white rose on the red background is replaced with a gold rose on a red background, as to evoke communism.

  1. Draw a ball
  2. Fill it with red
  3. Draw a golden rose in the middle
  4. Add eyes and you're done!
Color Name HEX RGB
Red #CD0000 205, 0, 0
Gold #FFD800 255, 216, 0


Japanese Communism

Another alternate design Polcompballers use for Reformist Marxism is the design of Japanese Communist Party, or Japanese Communism for short.

  1. Draw a ball
  2. Fill it with red
  3. Add a silver gear in the middle
  4. Draw a golden wheat in the middle of the gear
  5. Add the eyes (preferably slanted)
  6. Add a tan straw hat to the ball and you’re done!
Color Name HEX RGB
Red #E3213C 227, 33, 60
Silver #BAE1E6 186, 225, 230
Gold #F5AD00 245, 173, 0

  • Neoconservatism - I just wish you'd finally stop that militarization and leave Okinawa.
