You can go ahead but the history of the last 200 years suggest reformism doesn't work.

In the UK we got format shifting rights for a year or so, that was a minor, temporary paring back!
Until the alternative given is not dump capitalism then reformism is the only option I'll be backing, as the least worst of a sorry bunch.
