Summary

This quote distinguishes between two concepts of bringing about change. It states that a reform aims to fix wrongdoings or injustices within an existing system, addressing specific abuses and shortcomings. On the other hand, a revolution involves a complete shift in power dynamics, where the existing order is dismantled, and authority changes hands. While both strive for change, a reform seeks to mend while a revolution seeks to transform the entire structure.

First the signal red, then the signal was green. The citizens of the world ate food and watched t.v. and worried about their jobs or lack of the same, while they waited.
