Okay, let’s game it out Revolution: the majority of earth’s population share our class interest and many revolutions have in fact thrived despite a full-spectrum seige from the capitalist bloc. Reform: reform has been tried for a hundred fifty years and all there is to show for it is a couple world wars, many capitalist genocides, and an entrenched neo-aristocracy of openly fascist, pedophile death cultists who have kicked off a mass extinction and are driving us towards nuclear apocalypse. Every communist revolution that survived the 20th century is now either absolutely thriving or at least weathering extreme US seige, and the ones that weathered their seiges already have begun to thrive (see the DPRK). China is currenty the best hope right now for the survival of any large scale human civilization. Meanwhile, every capitalist society where people chose reform has backslid or been backsliding into fascism. And at this point, we are out of time to keep trying gentle .methods. Capitalism is the cancer killing the only extraordinary gem of a planet where plants grow and creatures roam, and its precisely thanks to the history of denial of how bad it is, the continual, suicidal insistence on taking half measures in the face of overwhelming warning that has got us to this point here: risky, invasive surgery or certain death.
