Impossibilism is a Marxist, libertarian left, anti-reformist, and revolutionarily spontaneous ideology. Impossibilists hold that any reforms to ameliorate social ills in capitalism are ultimately futile since it believes immediate reforms strengthen capitalism instead of achieving socialism in the long term. Adherents to this ideology support structural changes instead of evolutionary reforms like many democratic socialists. They also believe that spontaneous revolutionary actions are the only viable method to achieve a socialist society. Because of this, impossibilists oppose vanguardism and democratic centralism in Leninism.

History

The idea of impossibilism was brought up by Daniel De Leon, American Marxist theoretician, though he did not coin the term.
