Really, this template replaced with almost everything I have ever experienced is an accurate summary of my life 😆

    No politician can be reformist.

    Hmm…I agree with everything that comes after this.

    When I say “reformist”, I really mean someone who advocates small, gradual changes to society, in opposition to revolutionary changes. So most anarchists support revolution and are not reformists. More importantly, most politicians are reformists, at least in what they promise.

      I know. I deliberately chose to use a different scale for the word to make a point. By that I mean reformist/traditionalist instead of reformist/revolutionary. Using reformist for anyone who wants to change(reform) society.

      I do this quite a lot. deliberately misinterpret the point to point out the fuzziness of terms. I should probably remember to point that out whenever I do it.
