EvoSoc is a political philosophy associated with Eduard Bernstein and other 20th century social democrats that favored reform over revolution. Bernstein challenged the traditional Marxist analysis that capitalism would soon collapse under its own contradictions. Instead, he pointed out that the capitalism of his day had managed to overcome many of its weaknesses, expanding employment, reducing over production and allowing for the creation of the welfare state. Following this theory of history, Evolutionary Socialists advocate for a slow and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism.
