Socialism, as originally used by the followers of Robert Owen, appeared for the first time in their Co-operative Magazine of November 1827 and meant common ownership. Later, in 1875, at the first meeting of the German Social Democratic Party Eduard Bernstein. and others claimed that the capitalism could be be reformed to meet working class interests, By championing gradual, ethically-inspired reforms they rejected socialism's revolutionary and materialist foundations. Bernie Sanders & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as well as the DSA* are better defined as social democrats.
*“Democratic socialists” is a tautological misnomer.
