confirmation sur le fond de l'esprit social démocrate:
The growth of German social democracy owed much to the influence of the German political theorist Eduard Bernstein. In his ""Die Voraussetzungen des Sozialismus und die Aufgaben der Sozialdemokratie (1899; "The Preconditions of Socialism and the Tasks of Social Democracy"; Eng. trans. Evolutionary Socialism)"",
Bernstein challenged the Marxist orthodoxy that capitalism was doomed, pointing out that capitalism was overcoming many of its weaknesses, such as unemployment, overproduction, and the inequitable distribution of wealth. Ownership of industry was becoming more widely diffused, rather than more concentrated in the hands of a few.
Whereas Marx had declared that the subjugation of the working class would inevitably culminate in socialist revolution, Bernstein argued that success for socialism depended not on the continued and intensifying misery of the working class
but rather on eliminating that misery.
(finir la misère, oui ou non?)
Mais comment ? pour aller où?
