(1850-1932)

   German propagandist. Born in Berlin, he joined the Marxist wing of the labour movement in 1872. He later left Germany for Switzerland and became editor of Der Sozialdemokrat in 1881. In 1888 he was expelled from the country, and emigrated to London where he published Evolutionary Socialism. He subsequently settled in Germany and became the theoretician of the revisionist school of the reformist labour movement. In 1902 he became a member of the Reichstag, sitting until 1906 and again from 1912-18. During World War I he sided with the Independent Socialists, and from 1920-8 he served as a Social Democrat in Parliament.
