As people like Andre Gorz long argued, there are essentially two kinds of reforms that strategists should be concerned about: reformist-reforms and non-reformist reforms. The former smooth out some rough edges but ultimately legitimise the system (by working within its internal logic) and often also take the wind out of the sails of activists. The latter work against the internal logic of the oppressive system, delegitimise it further, and strengthen activists for the next round. Bob, lots of times we don't get a very good sense of how you make this necessary distinction in your work - and we'll learn more from you if you can be more explicit. |
