English term or phrase: a self-made socialist
On the right of the movement there were some who recommended concentrating on the immediate improvements and reforms which the working class might win from governments and employers, leaving the remoter future to take care of itself. Revolt or insurrection were in any case not on the agenda. Even so, few labour leaders born after, say, 1860 abandoned the idea of the New Jerusalem. Eduard Bernstein (1850-1932), a self-made socialist intellectual who suggested incautiously, not only that Karl Marx's theories should be revised in the light of a flourishing capitalism ('revisionism'), but also that the putative socialist end was less important than the reforms to be won on the way, was massively condemned by labour politicians whose interest in actually overthrowing capitalism was sometimes extremely faint. The belief that the present society was intolerable made sense to woking-class people, even when, as an observer of a German socialist congress in the 1900s noted, their militants 'kept a loaf or two ahead of capitalism'. The ideal of new society was what the working class hope.

Serbian translation:samouki socijalistički intelektualac
Explanation:
Čini mi se da je ovo u pitanju jer, mada Bernštajn jeste potekao iz siromašne porodice, stvar je u tome da nije studirao filozofiju i nije imao formalno obrazovanje, već je učio nešto u vezi bankarstva, ekonomije ili sl. a bavio se tzv. filozofskom mišlju.

Sad se setih da bi možda još i najbolje bilo: samonikli socijalistički mislilac.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Da, to je upravo to. Ali ova reč odgovara jer je reč o intelektualcu. Međutim, da je reč o nekom biznismenu, možda bi bolje odgovaralo "samoizgrađeni". Ali, nadam se da ima neka bolja reč ili izraz u srpkom.
