Reform Socialists ("Refos") is the name of a movement within the SPD youth organization Jusos , which was particularly effective in the 1980s in contrast to the so-called Stamokap movement.

She assumed that the state and the economy were relatively independent, mutually influencing spheres that were not hierarchized in terms of base and superstructure . Its political goal was to use the party to achieve parliamentary majorities for anti-capitalist structural reforms.

With the reunification of Germany and the associated de-ideologization of the Stamocapic current, the Refo current also increasingly lost its integrative power and then disappeared completely. From 2007 to 2009, the Juso district of Hessen-Nord described itself as “reform socialist”.

Among the reform socialists in their respective Juso times were Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul , Ottmar Schreiner , Rudolf Scharping , Doris Ahnen , Andrea Ypsilanti , Gernot Grumbach , Heiko Maas and Hubertus Heil .
