Better to ask me what I mean than ask Google. Maybe the NSA knows what I'm thinking but they won't say. Transformative reforms are reforms that change -- or potentially change -- the "conversation" or the terrain of struggle.
Please don't get hung up on the word choice. The Rose Community Foundation is welcome to use the same words to talk about whatever they are talking about. What I was commenting on was a critique by Andrew Kliman, not an announcement from the aforementioned foundation. Either consider my comment in the context it was presented or ignore it.
