    Is it possible to be both a revolutionary and a reformist? I feel like a revolution is the best way to achieve Socialist society. However, I think it’s clear that a revolution is at least not likely in the near future (next 3-5 years) in the United States.

    Is it wrong to get involved in the political system, volunteer to support Socialist politicians and parties along with Socialist parties? To try and find victories where we can through the democratic system?

    In my research so far, I see a lot of anti-reform messaging spread by many socialists

    personally i think the all or nothing mindset is detrimental. the US's foundation is stable and I think will continue to be stable. revolution requires a lot of opportunism, and we just don't know when or if the US will be in the types of conditions that allows for another revolution. reformation is slow, but I think it's the more stable alternative that could set socialist policies into the countries foundation to stay.

    I'm not a fan of Trotsky personally though I think reading his theory isn't that bad of an idea (although Trots today are 🤢), I'm not as familiar with his work as I am with some other Marxist theorists though so I can't really recommend much outside of permanent revolution

    Mhm, I've noticed MLs dislike Trots a lot lol. Well anyway I first wanna read Stalin works and then I might see the Permanent Revolution. Although I googled what's permanent revolution and if I understood correctly, I don't really like the idea

    "The purpose of these words is not to offend nor insult you: but since you have set out to intimidate, to terrorize this country and eventually to destroy its socio-economic system and independence, and if necessary its very physical existence, I consider it my elemental duty to remind you of a few home truths.

    You have neither the morality nor the right, none whatsoever, to speak of freedom, democracy and human rights when you hold enough power to destroy humanity and are attempting to install a world tyranny, side-stepping and destroying the United Nations Organization, violating the human rights of any and every country, waging wars of conquest to take over world markets and resources and installing decadent and anachronistic political and social systems which are leading the human race into the abyss.

    There are other reasons why you cannot mention the word democracy: among these is the fact that everyone knows you became president of the United States through fraud. You cannot speak of freedom because you cannot conceive of a world other than one ruled by fear of the lethal weapons which your inexpert hands might rain down on humanity.

    You cannot speak of the environment because you are completely ignorant of the fact that the human race is in danger of disappearing.

    You label a tyranny the economic and political system that has guided the Cuban people to higher levels of literacy, knowledge and culture than those in the most developed countries in the world. The same that has reduced infant mortality to a rate lower than that of the United States and whose population is provided with all healthcare and education services and with other extremely important social and human services free of charge."
