It’s a slow way towards a better economic system without the need for a revolution.

We've had 100 years of unopposed reformism, and look where we are 🥀

The state isn't some friend that exists for the public good, it literally dances to bourgeois private interests by design. There will be no UBI or better healthcare or whatever unless material conditions and bourgeois interests necessitate it (to prevent a proletariat revolution is one example). There's a reason why it's called a dictatorship of the bourgeois.
