==History==
===[[File:Cball-Germany.png]] Germany [[File:Bernstein.png]]===
Reformist Marxism has its origins in the writings of [[File:Bernstein.png]] [[Liberal Socialism|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 [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]].
===[[File:Cball-Japan.png]] Japan [[File:JapCom.png]]===
'''Japanese Communism''' is an ideology based off of the [https://www.jcp.or.jp/ Japanese Communist Party]. It is a form of [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]] with major influences from [[File:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism]] and strong opposition to [[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]] in Japan and a focus on maintaining Japan's national sovereignty.
===[[File:Cball-UK.png]] United Kingdom [[File:UKLab.png]]===
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 [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|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 [[File:Bevanism.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|Bevan]], Independant Labour and McDonnell these figures and party are often called in the UK "hard left" because of their often extreme beliefs. [[File:Bevanism.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|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 [[File:AnTory.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism|George Orwell]].
Starting under [[File:CPGBStalin.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Harry Pollitt]] the [[File:CPGBStalin.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Communist Party of Great Britain]] and its successor the [[File:CPGB.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Communist Party of Britain]] adopted a reformist stance of advocating for voting for the [[File:UKLab.png]] [[Social Democracy|Labour Party]]. They, following the beliefs of [[File:Karl Marx.png]] [[Marxism|Marx]] and [[File:JosephStalin.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Joseph Stalin]], believe that [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[socialism]] in the [[File:Cball-UK.png]] UK is possible through elections.
==Doctrine==
Eduard Bernstein argued that Marx had been wrong in his economic predictions, but right in his approach to social analysis. He observed capitalism was not failing, so the best path for the working class was to work within the political system to alleviate capitalism's failings. He believed that a worker's revolution required capitalism's collapse. That collapse was not forthcoming which left the working class to use political power to alleviate its own situation.

==How to Draw==
===Bernsteinism===
{{Flag|Bernstein flag.svg}}
The main design of Reformist Marxism, Bernsteinism uses a variant of the [[File:
#Draw a ball
Line 179 ⟶ 318:
#Add eyes and you're done!
{{Flag-auto|c1 = Red
|h1=#CD0000
|c2=Gold
|h2=#FFD800}}
===Japanese Communism===
{{Flag|Japanese communism flag.svg|(Japanese Design)}}
Another alternate design Polcompballers use for Reformist Marxism is the design of Japanese Communist Party, or Japanese Communism for short.

*[[File:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism]] - I am mostly you, but you are way broader an ideology than me.
*[[File:Ecosoc.png]] [[Eco-Socialism]] - A very modern variant, not the biggest fan of your focus on green politics, worker's liberation comes first!
*[[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism]] - Yes, you can show your national pride without being an [[File:Imp.png]] expansionist militaristic [[File:Mil.png]] prick

*[[File:Liberalsoc.png]] [[Liberal Socialism]] - My son who recognizes that socialism is merely organized liberalism.
===Frenemies
*[[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]] - You call yourself 'scientific' yet you oppose me for revising your theories. Don't you understand revision is the basis of science?
*[[File:Libmarx.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism#Libertarian Marxism|Libertarian Marxism]] - He goes on about how "the working class cannot use the existing state machinery to establish communism".
*[[File:
*[[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] - Son, what do you mean you just want restrained capitalism? Still much better than your [[File:3way.png]] [[Third Way|failed child]] though.
*[[File:Radlib.png]] [[Radicalism]] - Way too moderate and not [[File:ScientificSoc.png]] scientific but we did form an electoral alliance in Britain way back.

*[[File:George.png]] [[Conservative Socialism|Gallowayism]] - He often simps for authright regimes and seemingly doesn't care for Marx but he is a socialist who competes in elections, so how bad can he be?
*[[File:Luxem.png]] [[Classical_Social_Democracy#Luxemburgist_Left|Spartacism]] - You abandoned my party and revolted against the Weimar Republic! Still, I will forever remember you as a great fighter for socialist cause.
*[[File:Imp.png]] [[Imperialism]] - Bringing civilization and progress to backward non-class-conscious peoples is based... but can you actually uplift and enlighten them instead of just exploiting them?
*[[File:Bckchn.png]] [[Libertarian Municipalism]] - Revolutionary ancom but I stand with Rojava against Western imperialism and Ba'athist tyranny!
*[[File:ClassSocDem.png]] [[Classical Social Democracy]] - While Marx's doctrine was indeed a great contribution to the proletarian movement, it must be revised.
*[[File:Chavismo.png]] [[Chavismo]] - You are technically a form of me but uhh, I always have considered myself "democratic" which you are certainly not.
*[[File:Socliber.png]] [[Social Libertarianism]]- My grandson who seems to compromise with economic centrism but at least you are not like him...[[File:Third Way Liberalism.png]]

*[[File:Hindutva.png]] [[Hindutva]] - Hope you like [[w:2021_Kerala_Legislative_Assembly_election|losing]], hindu fash. Even if I [[w:2021_West_Bengal_Legislative_Assembly_election|lost everything]] in West Bengal, the TMC was able to stop you.
*[[File:Sorel.png]] [[Syndicalism|Sorelianism]] - Yes, I’m a political optimist, and? You’re just a psychopathic quasi-anarchist who has an obsession with violence.
*[[File:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism]] - You're just a bomb-throwing utopian, who thinks you can build socialism by destroying the only institution that can provide it.
*[[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism]] - Damn you Gaitskell!<ref>Gaitsekll and Attlee cut NHS funding and remove free spectacles and dentistry in order to raise military spending for the Korean war</ref>
*[[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism]] - Bourgeoisie thinking.

"The aim of all socialist measures, even of those which appear outwardly as coercive measures, is the development and the securing of a free personality. Their more exact examination always shows that the coercion included will raise the sum total of liberty in society, and will give more freedom over a more extended area than it takes away."[4]
Reformist Marxism, also called 
Evolutionary Socialism,[5] 
Marxist Social Democracy[6] 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.[7] Reformist Marxism today is practiced by the 
Japanese Communist Party.[8]
History
Germany 
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 
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, Independant 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.
Starting under 
Harry Pollitt the Communist Party of Great Britain and its successor the 
Communist Party of Britain adopted a reformist stance of advocating for voting for the 
Labour Party. They, following the beliefs of 
Marx and 
Joseph Stalin, believe that socialism in the 
UK is possible through elections.
Doctrine
Eduard Bernstein argued that Marx had been wrong in his economic predictions, but right in his approach to social analysis. He observed capitalism was not failing, so the best path for the working class was to work within the political system to alleviate capitalism's failings. He believed that a worker's revolution required capitalism's collapse. That collapse was not forthcoming which left the working class to use political power to alleviate its own situation.

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.
- Draw a ball
- Fill it with red
- Draw a golden rose in the middle
- 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.
- Draw a ball
- Fill it with red
- Add a silver gear in the middle
- Draw a golden wheat in the middle of the gear
- Add the eyes (preferably slanted)
- 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 | |

Still, I will forever remember you as a great fighter for socialist cause.
- Imperialism - Bringing civilization and progress to backward non-class-conscious peoples is based... but can you actually uplift and enlighten them instead of just exploiting them?
Libertarian Municipalism - Revolutionary ancom but I stand with Rojava against Western imperialism and Ba'athist tyranny!
