Indeed the reforms will ultimately change the character of capital as capital.

Incremental reforms are not wrong, and may be useful if they increase
confidence in the democratic movement. The important thing is a clear
consciousness of the goal and an ability to sustain and coordinate pressure
over several decades, and the world as a whole. We have the technology and
the consciousness to do that.
