Systemic change is a combination of reformist, alternative-building and revolutionary logics

If we think of systemic change as a combination of reformist (symbiotic), alternative-building (interstitial) and revolutionary (ruptural) logics, we can picture it as a process of ‘transition’ which, against the connotations that the concept has accrued within the Marxist tradition, is non-linear, uneven and conflictual instead of continuous, homogeneous and managed from above.
I think very similar to resist, regulate, recode from Platform socialism.
Regulate = reform. Resist = revolutionary. Recode = alternative building.
