User blog comment:Percival E/Current events: what can the Left do, and what not?/@comment-184121-20100531143504

as long as we ain't a one-party state those reforms can still be turned back, like in the netherlands (first christian-democ. then paars (pragmatists+labour party+liberals) and then again christian-democ.+populists etc..) when the communists fail, something which they usually do.
