Eduard Bernstein (6 January 1850 – 18 December 1932) was a German social democrat and political theorist. He believed that capitalism could naturally regulate itself to prevent crises[1] and that socialism could be achieved without a revolution through gradual reforms.[2] He also rejected the labour theory of value and took a moralist instead of scientific stance on the exploitation of surplus-value.[3]
