REFORM OR REVOLUTION

        by Daniel De Leon

     An exerpt from preface

"Reform naturally implay belief in the usefulness,or indispensability, of the thing to be reformed. A garment may be renovated or repaired over and over again, but the point is eventually reached when the efford and the cost of pepair exeed the replacement cost of the garment.  To continue to repair must eventually, and inevitably,  lead to a result directly opposite  to  that at which the process of repairing is aimed.  It ceases to be economical to repair, and the garment is discarded.  However, to continue to repair a worn-out garment is no more foolish and wasteful than it would be to discard the garment while it is stil serviceable.and worth. repairing..To repeat: To continue to „reform“ the garment when the stage of „reform“has passed is a fatuous and destructive as would be the prematurely „revolutionary“act of throwing away a perfectly serviceable and useful garment“    Page 24
