We are just as impatient for change as anyone else.
Although we recognise that governments can sometimes be forced into reforms that benefit some, these reforms are never any more than patch-ups that always come under threat whenever capitalism hits one of its inevitable economic crises.
So reformist parties always end up running fast to stay still.
And no reformist movement anywhere will ever be able to legislate against poverty (relative or otherwise) or the threats of war and ecological disaster because, and our apologies if this gets a bit repetitive, capitalist society needs and causes them.
One last thing – why go for the crumbs of reformism when we can grab the whole cake, and the bakery where WE made it?
