Reform implies improvement or change within an existing system.

Revolution implies replacement of the existing system.

The evidence points to the latter.

This one went right over his head, rez. He swung and totally missed your point. But then again, I know you.

Indeed. No real revolutionary is going to ask you for change. They aren’t hoping it plays out in their favor through diplomacy and trust in the system. Revolutionaries forcibly overthrow the system because they don’t trust the system in the first place. BLM is asking for policy changes and trying to leverage the Black vote and dollars into political power. They have no intentions of overthrowing the government. The REVOLUTIONARY WAR is a good example...key word...WAR.
