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.
How to draw
The design for Impossibilism is based on this, but with the colors reversed.
- Draw a ball,
- Color the ball dark red,
- In the center, draw a white star,
- Draw a dark red clenched fist inside of the star,
- Add two eyes and you're done.
| Color Name | HEX | RGB | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red | #B50A10 | 181, 10, 16 | |
| White | #F0F0F0 | 240, 240, 240 | |
Relationships
Friends
De Leonism - My father who taught me almost everything I know.
Luxemburgism - She's opposed to both reformism and vanguardism like me. Also, worker councils and unions are great.
Mao-Spontex - Not sure about democratic centralism, but I enjoy your commitment to a spontaneous revolution nonetheless.
Frenemies
Revolutionary Syndicalism - Sorry, but trade unions aren’t effective as a form of revolutionary organization.
Leninism - The working class themselves needs to create a revolution, not just a professional vanguard.
Democratic Socialism - I appreciate your socialist ideal, but I don't think that can be achieved by participating in 
liberal democracy. Social reforms will only stabilize capitalism!
Enemies
Social Democracy - Because of decades of reformism, you made too many compromises with the bourgeoisie. You're just a capitalist with a large welfare state!
Social Capitalism - All the welfare of the world won't erase the fact that your unequal exploitative structure still remains.
