Socialist Progressives

but there are stages to consciousness of the working class. Now, I'm not talking about the Stalinist "stagiest theory" when I say this, but strictly on consciousness. The consciousness of the working class, for the most part, has now recognized that the social democratic reforms of the last century are being eroded day by day. Which has led to the rise of these left formations that are basically calling for a return to social democracy. So it's time to put this contradiction in social democracy out there and guide the workers into seeing that only an anti-capitalist movement will even have a chance to bring on ANY reforms, even social democratic ones. And if you're going to have to struggle that hard just to protect and get back what you had, you might as well go all the way this time.
