Upon an analysis on thesis of Rosa Luxemburg and V. I. Lenin, this article points out concepts on Reform, Reformism and Revolution with a look at the Latin American present. In the field of reforms within capitalist societies, it analyzes the differences between their use in certain contexts as a way to mitigate social problems affecting broad popular strata and the reformist positions denounced by Rosa Luxemburg and VI Lenin, which simply seek changes for the capitalism and sabotage revolutionary processes, aiming to achieve structural changes. Considering the experiences of the Cuban Revolution and the sociopolitical contributions of Fidel Castro, he reflects on the implementation of reforms in the process of socialist transition or the construction of socialism.
