History

Germany

Flag of Reformist Marxism

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.

Japan

Relations

Friends

Frenemies

  • Social Democracy - Son, what do you mean you just want restrained capitalism? Still much better than 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.
  • Trotskyism - You too! But you're worse than him because you're f*ckin' Red Neocon! and f*ck permanent revolution too! and you will cause more death than does!
  • Stalinism - F*ck off, Tankie!
  • Maoism - You're worse with your Cultural Revolution is very bad and abnormal!
  • Marxism-Leninism - Are you not just Tankie again? And I never forgive you what you done with Czechoslovakia!
  • Marxism-Leninism-Maoism - You too!
  • 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.
