Rosa Luxemburg
Reform or Revolution, also titled Social Reform or Revolution?, is an 1899 pamphlet by Polish-German Marxist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, in which she argues that trade unions, reformist political parties, and the expansion of social democracy could not create a socialist society as Eduard Bernstein, among others, argued. She contends from a historical materialist perspective that capitalism is economically unsustainable and will eventually collapse and that a revolution is necessary to transform capitalism into socialism. The pamphlet was influential in revolutionary socialist circles and an important precursor to left communist theory.

The narrator though, they're good and loved the whiny voice they did for the comments of the liberals. However they do have some pronunciation issues: "dialetical" instead of "dialectical" was common throughout, with "transistory" instead of "transitory" and "secretarian" instead of "sectarian" being quite funny. :)
Good book, funny performance

Underwhelming in every way.

It also seems as though she makes several claims that were perhaps explained or shown true in other texts that she just casually brings them up as though they're true without rigorously proving them out - which left me with more questions than when I started.
Overall, I've been really excited to read this for a long time only to be disappointed. It feels like the points made here are coming from a very dogmatic point of view as well. Like she keeps espousing the virtues of dialectics and how Bernstein is such a bastard because he's departed from the original teachings of Marx.
All in all, if you're a baby left or overall not very well versed in socialist theory (like myself), this work is going to be really hard to understand.
Really opaque unless you're well versed in theory
