The Evolution of Social Democracy: Key Debates and Historical Context

In this tutorial, we delve into the history of social democracy, starting from the 1850s and discussing early key values introduced by Karl Marx. We cover pivotal debates of the late 1800s that led to the significant split within the socialist movement between 1917 and 1920, resulting in two branches: revolutionary socialism and social democracy. Learn about the key notions of socialism, the rise of socialist reformism, and the controversial ideas of Edward Bernstein. Explore critical perspectives from revolutionary socialists like Rosa Luxemburg and understand how these debates shaped the modern social democratic parties we see today.
