Classical Social Democracy

Classical Social Democracy is a movement that has its roots in the Social Democratic Party of Germany, with most of the theories of it ranging from  Marxian to even  reformist ones. In spite of this, social democrats are united in believing in the following three ideas, belief in itself being the representative of all non-capitalist classes, belief in the ultimate victory of socialism no matter what or which measure and the belief in the formation of an independent organization of the working class.

Beliefs
The beliefs of Social-Democrats are often very divided, ranging from reformism to pure direct action. In spite of this, they are all united in one common struggle, the construction of a mass workers movement to overthrow capitalism.

The Centrists were a major faction within the SPD, which theory is mainly based on the works of Karl Kautsky. While embracing revolution, they support parliamentarianism (as a tactic to get more popular) and reject direct action. A fundamental belief of theirs is the concept of the merger formula, which emphasises the importance of bourgeois intelligentsia in socialist consciousness and believes that socialist consciousness could only be born by bourgeois intelligentsia, not the workers.

One of the many radical factions within Social Democracy centered around Luxemburg, the Luxemburgist Left is one of the more centrist-aligned ones. Embracing Social Democracy as the proletariat instead of a section of the proletariat, the Luxemburgist Left would advocate for the masses to "reconquer" the mass movements that have fallen to revisionism instead of rejecting those movements. Luxemburg would also believe in the idea of "economism", which assumes that capitalism will collapse through mechanic and economic factors that don't include the proletarit.

Bremen Leftists, or Bremenists are a tendency within the Social Democratic Party of Germany that emphasises on the revolutionary role of direct action. Rejecting Kautsky's and Luxemburg's ideas that capitalism will collapse through economic means, the Bremenists advocate for a focus on mass action in working-class organisations and rejection of entryism and "taking over the state". The Bremenists would instead advocate for the abolishment of the state and the creation of a proletarian one. Alongside that, they would place special emphasis in the idea that the basis of reformism is the labour aristocracy and the rejection of national liberation.
