    Cover of 'Reform Or Revolution?' by Rosa Luxemburg

    "Reform or Revolution?" is a pivotal work that critiques the revisionist approach to socialism, advocating instead for revolutionary methods as the necessary means to achieve the goals of socialism. The author argues against the belief that gradual reforms through existing capitalist institutions can lead to socialism, positing that these reforms are inherently limited and incapable of dismantling capitalist structures. The text emphasizes the necessity of a complete overthrow of the capitalist system to pave the way for genuine socialist governance, critiquing contemporary socialist movements that favor reform and cautioning against the dilution of socialist ideals.
