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.

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.

  1. Draw a ball,
  2. Color the ball dark red,
  3. In the center, draw a white star,
  4. Draw a dark red clenched fist inside of the star,
  5. Add two eyes and you're done.
Color Name HEX RGB
Red #B50A10 181, 10, 16
White #F0F0F0 240, 240, 240
