A German social democrat. The core point of Lenin's criticism I believe was that Kautsky was de-radicalizing Marxism and trying to make it compatible with bourgeois democracy, to transform it from a revolutionary ideology into bourgeois electoralism. If you're curious about the details, here's a link to Lenin's work that this meme is joking about.
