Reformist Marxism, also called Evolutionary Socialism,[1] Marxist Social Democracy[2], Classical Social Democracy, or Bernsteinism is a type of Marxism which seeks to achieve communism through the use of democratic 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
Reformist Marxism has it's 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.

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 a strong opposition to
American interventionism in Japan and a focus on maintaining Japan's national sovereignty.

Relations
Friends
Democratic Socialism - Follows in my footsteps quite nicely but he can be a bit TOO utopian, even for me.
Eurocommunism - He gets me.
Anti-Authoritarianism - My great son who hates authoritarianism like me.
Left-Wing Nationalism - Yes, you can show your national pride without being an
expansionist militaristic
prick.
Alter-Globalization - Down with exploitation of the
Global South and the
Trans-Pacific Partnership!
Frenemies
Social Democracy - Son, what do you mean you just want restrained capitalism? Still much better then your
failed child though.
Marxism - You call yourself 'scientific' yet you oppose me for revising your theories. Don't you understand revision is the basis of science?
Libertarian Marxism - He goes on about how "the working class cannot use the existing state machinery to establish communism".
Imperialism - Bringing civilization and progress to backwards non-class-conscious peoples is based... but can you actually uplift and enlighten them instead of just exploiting them?
Enemies
Luxemburgism - STOP BULLYING ME!
Bismarckism - Got some right ideas, but banning File:Soc.png socialists was cringe.
Showa-era Dictatorship - A bloodthirsty merciless conqueror, and a bloody hypocrite to boot!
Anti-Japaneseism - You can denounce Japanese imperialism without being so racist about it.
Anarcho-Communism - You're just a bomb-throwing utopian, who thinks you can build socialism by destroying the only institution that can provide it.
Leninism - You claim to hate anarchists, yet your idea of destroying the bourgeois state is no different from them.
Third Way - I don't even recognize my own party anymore.
Left Communism - You hated the United Front for bringing me in, you like authoritarianism, you hate revisionism, your entire ideology revolves around a proleterian revolution, you're
Leninism but worse!
Dengism - Communist in name only! Treatment of Hong kong and Uyghurs have NOTHING to do with socialism!
Neoconservatism - I just wish you'd finally stop that militarization and leave Okinawa.
