The book, written by Max Rameau, appears to focus on some critical issues that any movement faces when it attempts to solve major social problems while confronting representatives of the ruling class whose priorities are the maintenance of the capitalist system, which in turn, creates those very problems. The reviewer does a good job of pointing out these issues that the author expands on in his book.
Ultimately, it is a question about “revolutionary reforms” – theoretically a change in policy (reform) that leads to the empowerment of a movement, and therefore the ability to carry on further campaigns towards revolution. But what does that actually look like in a capitalist society that has successfully undercut and co-opted grassroots social movements for the last century or more, and which even more skillfully ignores and silences those movements so that they feel powerless and marginalized?
