From the Paper:

"Since Marx there have been several different versions of radicalism, usually termed revisionist ideologies. In particular, some have argued that violent revolution is not necessary to establish socialism. The alternative is a gradual reform of the existing government. This view is less radical in the strict sense of the word, but with regard to political systems 'radicalism' can more generally refer to any system which requires large-scale change of the existing national infrastructure."
