Yes there is a third meaning -- that of classical social democracy when it
still claimed to be socialist: the claim that capitalist could be changed into
socialism through an accumulation of reforms. "The Parliamentary Road
to Socialism."

I think it is easier to work with those who are reformist in the sense of
wanting only to eliminate specific evils than it is to work with those who
believe those reforms can add up to socialism. The former are honest
both with themselves and with allies. Those who believe reforms can add
up to socialism are dishonest with themselves.
