Comrades, isn't the point here a simple one: certain programmatic
opportunities arise now and again. We may be at the cusp of having such
opportunities now, what with the ceiling so obvious on capitalist
approaches, and the resistance rising so impressively across the world
over the past decade?
In which case, a 'transitional program' is much like the
'non-reformist reforms' approach of the likes of Andre Gorz, John Saul, etc.
That would stand in distinction from the reformist reforms that
you'd normally find in the U.S. Democratic Party, which emphasize
technological fixes and market-oriented 'solutions' to crises such as
climate chaos.
A transitional program would work against the market at every
opportunity, strengthening workers and other dominated groups.
Isn't that the gist of the contribution by those coming to
practical politics with a revolutionary Marxist orientation?

There is no such thing as "The Transitional Program by Leon Trotsky". He never
wrote and never would have written anything by that name. There is a reason why he never
would have written anything by that name: A program is an approach to a real-life state
of affairs.
