I know a lot of philosophy undergrads who might as well not call themselves that.

Who arent trying to reform the subject.

"you must be accepted into our system if you want to criticize it

It's not that. There is just no practical possibility of philosophy, or any other subject, being reformed by someone who does not have a very good grasp of it. You need a good grasp of it just to dagnose the problems.
