"There are certain reforms--instant runoff voting comes to mind here--which presuppose that one has enough power to do something more significant than simply install the reform. Fool's gold for the masses."

"simply" install such a reform? would that we had an organized left that could "simply" do such a thing...

in fact, if the right wing brought about such a reform ( more likely, given their organization, and materialist practice), it would be at least potentially good for democracy...unless the left kept waiting for godot, or whoever or whatever it is that is supposed to indicate the proper time, place and structure of social change...
