A minimum and maximum program, just as has been the achilles heel of socialist parties throughout history.

Actually it was the other way round. The SLP of America dropped all reform demands in 1900. So we followed them, probably consciously, when we were founded in 1904. Oddly, the SLP of GB, when it was set up in 1903, did have a reform programme.

Osama,  I get  the sense of what you are saying here.  You are suggesting that workers opt out of the system rather than fight it head on.  Well,  yes and no is my response. I agree in principle  with the idea that we should strive as far as possible to transcend the system of wage slavery – the cash nexus – that capitalism imposes upon us. It is not enough to just abstractly talk about an alternative to capitalism, We need some kind of "material correlate" to match our fine words about another kind of society. We need to acquire the  confidence that can only come through praxis that we are capable of moving beyond capitalism.  That is why attempts to transcend the money economy in the here and now are important to the socialist cause.  Without them, we are left only with abstract propaganda and abstract propaganda on its own has unfortunately proved to be a conspicuous failure. However however however…. Practical attempts to transcend the limits of capitalism in the here and now have also not succeeded  – even if in numerical terms they absolutely dwarf the impact of the political movement to overthrow capitalism.  To take just one example –  the Freecycle Network. It is massive by comparison with the political movement for socialism.  It is  "made up of 5,293 groups with 9,096,310 members around the world, and next door to you. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns and neighborhoods. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. "https://www.freecycle.org/It is great to see something like this and as a socialist it fills me with hope.  Anything that encourages the idea that we can do without money fills me with hope.    However the Freecycle network on its own is not going to do anything about challenging the capitalist basis of modern society.  Clearly.  Its is not going to eliminate the monumental structural waste that capitalism generates  The same can be said of LETS and Time banks  and intentional communities. etc etc   They are all positive developments in terms of predisposing people to be more receptive to socialist ideas but are not in themselves enough to bring about the real change we all need. The answer surely is not to see  things in simplistic black or white terms,  Abstract propaganda such as SPGB is carrying out is absolutely indispensable but self evidently it too is not enough on its own to bring about the change needed.  What we need is a fusion of approaches so that we can benefit from the synergies that develop out of that, Socialists need to come off the fence as far as moments like the Freecycle Movement is concerned and enthusiastically endorse them, and even get actively involved in them, while at the same time pointing out their limitations.  The positive feedback and contacts established in engaging with such movements will I believe help to boost the fortunes of the socialist movement itself and vice versa.  These kinds of movements are our natural constituency and we should wake up to this fact

You realise Rosa Luxemburg's most famous work was 'Reform or Revolution'?

And she got killed following reformism and reformists

Therefore, the coup of the Bolshevik, and others guerrillas coup, thy are  not reformist movement. You like to throw rocks on the windows of the SPGB, but when it comes to your windows everything is correct. It sounds like sectarianism. If she knew what socialism is, Why did she follow or fall in the sociall pressures of others peoples around her ?
