Beliefs and Foundations
Reformism believes for the reform of an existing system or institution instead of its abolition and replacement. There are typically many types of Reformism, not just left and right. Here are some examples:
Left-Reformism
Left-reformists either want to regulate capitalism with left-wing policies such as unions, welfare and regulations, or transition peacefully into a post-capitalist society by means of electoral politics as opposed to revolution or other method.
Right-Reformism
Right-reformists want to gradually implement right-wing policies to free the market, such as privatization, tax cuts or deregulation.
Fusion Reformism
Fusion reformists hold a pragmatic approach between left-reformism and right-reformism. They advocate for free markets, competition and privatisation but it does so in a way that collaborates with tax reforms and dynamics, welfare and a stance between economic intervention and market freedom.
Cultural Reformism
Cultural reformists want to reform traditions and cultural practices, so that they can address social and cultural issues and adapt to modern social and cultural values.
Police Reformism
Police reformists want to gradually implement values to aspects of accountability, policing, triaining and community, improving them and ensuring a more just approach to policing.
Personality and Behaviour
Reformism is very peaceful and hates political violence. It believes everything can be done through reform. He tries to get along with everyone, making most ideologies think is egalitarian, though he doesn't always support egalitarianism.
