Comrade Domza It is often said that social and economic reforms play a critical role in any revolution. We should not be guilty of one extreme that seeks to negate any revolutionary reforms, without equating nationalism with socialism we should explore how can the revolutionary forces be empowered if given greater economic leverage from the side of the state.
Simultaneously, as we engage in this debate rather than just labeling nationalism as economism we can broaden the dabate to look at options of socialisation within communities; either in conjunction with state nationalism. So this debate has got much prospects and we can build on it rather than the approach of dismissing it outrightly. Some comrades have been arguing for the destruction of the current state, almost in a literal sense, before we can have nationalization as an option. In practice what does this mean? How do we relate such to the notion of the NDR? At this phase of our uninterupted advance of the struggle for socialism we need to define in practice what do we think is the role of revolutionary reforms without being reformist, we can also say the role of economic reforms without being economistic. Ofcourse the premise of all of these should be the conscious action and organization of a working class led movement within the alliance so that there is no class derailment of our efforts.
