>>2726747>QOTT: How do we get left populist candidates in office that can work towards the goal of a total embargo of Israel, achieving universal healthcare, and putting orange pedo in jail?Going to all the effort of implanting a left-centrist would be better off spent building that organizational capacity outside of bourgeois state systems, no? Now, I'm not against participation in them, but isn't that being your end goal rather self-defeating?
The ship's sinking and the crew on the bridge have jammed the steering. Why not work to stop the engines
as you plead with them to take the bar off the wheel? Why not get the most vulnerable to the life rafts while the strongest arm themselves incase the bridge needs to be stormed? To deny revolutionary work is to kneecap yourself. The things you do to get a guy elected can also serve as a basis for revolutionary action if you play your cards right.
>>2726755>I recognize that class struggle is reality, but you will never see a revolution in your lifetime because the organizational capacity of the working class in terms of actually halting production is near zero.Thus, you help build it. If you can build it enough to get a guy in office, why stop there? The reformist does not encompass revolution but a revolutionary encompasses reform. Take the idea of "class struggle" to it's logical conclusion, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
Having said that, I highly suspect that this is bait.
