From my point of view there's never been a contradiction between trying to gradually make things better (reforming) and working towards a radically different future (revolution).
I was talking to a revolutionary socialist last night and I realised how much more similar their actual programme is to mine now in the context of climate change, despite apparent differences. Both have an ideal future that they are working towards but are using their principles and ideas to tackle current problems in a more pragmatic way. I think the climate crisis has made this necessary because any socialist that so dislikes the idea of 'reforming' to the point of not campaigning for action to avoid climate change must surely lose any credibility simply because of the timescales involved.
