I tend to think that any system can theoretically be transformed into any other system via a finite number of reforms, if you can exert enough power to force it (which a revolution also requires), thus, I don’t see these as a mutually exclusive axis. As far as I see it, the thing about liberalism isn’t that they just want to reform the system, it’s that they don’t want the system to be changed at all by any means, or at least not those aspects of the system that lead to it’s being dominated by a small handful of people.
