The issue of revolution is the constant companion even of those who are reformists for the obvious reason that you can’t really tinker with a complex social system in isolated parts.
But does the left really have anything to offer if there were a revolution? The void there belies the easy promotion of some grand revolutionary scenario. Thus the debate goes on and on but the reality is not that we should not have a revolutionary option but how in that circumstance to actually create new society. It is not enough to simply point to the state for salvation.
